ordered to be delivered to him in part satisfaction of the 2,900 sacks which the
king ordered to be taken by him to parts beyond the sea, and the king

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer and to the chamberlains.
William de Northwell, late keeper of the great wardrobe, has shown the
king that although he rendered his final account for the wardrobe and
delivered at the exchequer the names of those to whom the king was bound
in divers sums, yet because divers writs of liberate to pay certain sums to
him, and other writs for payment to divers creditors whose names are noted
in the account, are not yet paid, the treasurer, barons and chamberlains
distrain him to answer for such sums, whereupon he has besought the king
to provide a remedy ; the king therefore orders the treasurer and chamber-
lains to inspect the said writs and payments, to cause the payments of sums
contained in the writs to be deducted and the writs endorsed so that no
further payment shall be made by virtue of the writs, and the king wishes
satisfaction to be made for the outstanding debts as follows, that before any
satisfaction is made to a creditor noted in the account, the account shall be
viewed and the sum to be paid shall then be subtracted from the surplus
contained in the account, and the bill or other deed which the creditor had
shall be received there, delivered at the king's receipt and remain condemned
there, and express mention of the payment or allowance shall be made in
the exchecper rolls, and the king does not wish Williuni to be charged with
any payments or allowances made upon the surplus of this account. The
king furthers orders the treasurer, barons and chamberlains to cause the
preiniaea to be observed and enrolled.

life, notwithstanding any assignments made to William de la Pole, the

she rendered these into the present king's hands with her other lands, at
his request and that of the prelates, earls, barons and other magnates of
the realm, and subsequently the king assigned to her divers manors and
lands to the value of 8,000/. yearly for life, and on the 11th August the
king, wishing to supply what was lacking of the aforesaid 4,500/., granted
her 1,500/. yearly from the customs, to wit, 500/. in the port of London,
500/. in the port of Boston, 500/. in the port of Kyngeston-upon-Hull, to be

Shelton, restoring the issues thereof to the prior, as the escheator returned
that he had taken those lands into the king's hands by reason of the
voidance of the proiry by the resignation of Roger de Wellyngton the last
prior, because 2 carucates of land and lOO.s. rent which are of the
appurtenances of the priory are in the liberty of the town of Bedeford which
is held of the king at fee ferm, rendering 22^. yearly to the exchequer, to which
ferm the prior renders 39n. 6(/. yearly, and also because in the time of Henry
III. the advowson of the priory was taken into the king's hands and so
remained, and because the king afterwards learned from the present prior
that the priory is of the foundation of the ancestors of Simon Barsecote of
Bedeford and that Simon gave the advowson to Roger le Marescall, who
granted it to William le Latymer and Elizabeth his wife, w^henee the priory
is now of the patronage of Robert de Ufibrd the younger and the said
Elizabeth now his wife, and that the king's progenitors have not held the
priory during voidance, or received anything therefrom, the king ordered the
treasurer and barons of the exchequer to inspect their roll, the accounts of
escheators and other ministers, and inform the king of what they should
find, and by this scrutiny it is not found that the temporalities of the
priory were ever taken into the king's hands in times of a voidance.

sum for his wages and expenses upon certain al^airs, and for his fees and
robes between the last day of August in the 11th year of the reign and
11 July following, as may appear by a bill in his possession, under the
seal of Edmund de la Beche, late keeper of the wardrobe. By C.

To the sheriti' of Southampton. Order to permit Philip Crok to exer-
cise the office of verderer in the forest of Chute, as although the king

informed that Philip has suflicient lands in that county, stays there, and
is fitted for the ofhce.

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to supersede the
demand made on Richard de Walden for rendering his account from 18
August last, as although the king appointed him and Nicholas atte Hawe

Walter de Norton in his place.

To Thomas de Foxle, constable of Wyndesore castle. Order to deliver
to John de Broghton, to whom the late king committed the custody of the
gate of Wyndesore park and of the manor there, for life, receiving as much
as Laurence de Bagshote received in the same, the arrears of what John
was wont to receive, and to pay what he received henceforth, so long as he
is keeper and Thomas is constable.

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Whereas the king
ordered Roger de Grey and others, appointed justices of oyer and terminer
in CO. Bedford, to cause the issues returned upon the abbot of Rameseye and
the amercements of the abbot, Richard his brother and John Baron to be
withdrawn from the rolls and cancelled, acquitting the abbot and others
of the said issues and amercements saving to the king the amercement of
Thomas de Stodloye the elder [as in thin Calcnilar 11 JuliianI III, jnnit-
12] , yet the justices delivered the issues and amercements in extracts of
their rolls at the exchequer, wherefore they are exacted of the abbot by
summons of the exchequer, the king therefore orders the treasurer and
barons to cause the amercements to be cancelled, discharging the abbot
and others but saving the amercement of Thomas. By pet. of C.

To the same. Order to cause allowance to be made to Alan la Zousche,
son and heir of William la Zousche, of Assheby in the debts in which William
was bound to the king at his death, what is found to be due to William of his
fee of 200 marks for the custody of the land of (Hamorgan and Morganno,
which the king committed to him on 21 February in the 1st year of his
reign, to hold during pleasure, so that he should appoint the sheriff,
constable, and other ministers there, and should dispose of the castles,
towns, and manors for the king's benefit, and the safe keeping thereof,
receiving 200 marks in time of peace, and for thirty men at arms in his
company for the siege of Kaerlilly castle, if it was not then surrendered, at
the king's accustomed wages; anil afterwards on 12 June in the same year,
the king ordered William to deliver the custody to Roger de Mortuo Mari,
to whom he had committed it; and Alan has besought the king to order
Hucb allowance to be made to him, as divers debts in which William was
bound to the king are exacted of him. By C.

as the manors are held of the king in chief, in frankalmoin, and the arch-
bishop was enfeoffed of the former by the archbishop of Rouen and the dean

mortmain, without licence ; and afterwards the king learned from the
prior that he and his predecessors were seised thereof from the foundation

To John de Warenna, earl of Surrey, and his fellows, keepers of the
maritime land in co. Sussex. Order to supersede the exaction made on the
prior of Bermoundeseye to find men at arms or other armed men by reason
of his lands in that county, as he has shown the king that although his
priory was taken into the king's hands as an alien priory, and the prior
holds the custody thereof at will for rendering a certain ferm yearly, yet
the deputies appointed by the keepers distrain him to find four men at
arms, armed men, and archers, by reason of his lands in that county,
pretending that he and his predecessors had supported such charges,
wherefore the prior has asserted before the council that he now pays in the
aforesaid ferm the greater part of the sum which was formerly paid for
such custody, and the king discharged him of such custody. By C.

wont to render, as on 5 December, in the 3rd year of the reign, the king
committed that office to John de la Roche to hold for seven years,
rendering what John de Canygges who held that office rendered then, and
afterwards the king committed the custody to him for life, rendering the
same, and now he has informed the king that although he is prepared
to render as much as John rendered, yet the treasurer and barons exact 5
marks yearly in addition because the extracts of the chancery roll of the
3rd year contain that John de la Roche should render 5 marks yearly in
addition, whereupon he has besought the king to provide a remedy.

of the Bench of Edward I, in the 14th year of the reign, and the present
king ordered the justices to inspect the record? and processes and further
to do what is just at the suit of the present abbot of St. Evroult, and
although the king caused all the records and processes upon the suit to
come before him because he learned from the abbot of Leicester that in

others sent to the king, there were manifest errors, and the king sent the

arrears, as the king has learned from his plaint ; the king therefore orders

Lacu, in fee, for rendering 8/. 16.s. yearly to the bishop, and the land and

wool to be collected, and the bishop returned that the abbot of Thorneye
is the only one mentioned in the schedule sent with the order who is in

witnessed in the charter of King Edgar, their feoffor, and not by barony,

bounds between his land in Conyngesby and her land in Bolyngbrok,
Stykeneye and Sibeseye, and render justice to the parties, but not to pro-
ceed to render judgment without consulting the king, as the abbot asserted
before the justices that Alesia had unjustly drawn to her fee in those towns,
beyond the accustomed bounds, 250 acres of moor and 500 acres of marsh
of the abbot's said land, and Alesia alleged that the said moor and marsh
were parcel of the manor of Bolyngbrok which she holds for life by the
king's grant to her and Ebulo Lestrange late her husband and his heirs,
with reversion to Roger Lestrange, Ebulo's kinsman and heir, without
whom she cannot permit bounds to be made, and seeks aid from Roger,
and he came before the justices and alleged with Alesia, that the king
granted the lands as aforesaid with the said manor, by charter, and granted
that if the manor or any parcel of the same should be recovered against
them, he would cause the value of the land so recovered to be delivered to
them in suitable places, and that the countess holds the manor for life with
reversion to lloger, and that Roger cannot answer the abbot in the
premises without the king, wherefore the justices delayed to proceed further
in the plea, and the abbot has besought the king to provide a remedy.

sentence passed upon him by the bishop and for the protection of the court
of Canterbury, and pursues his appeals with effect, as will fully appear by
the public instruments made thereupon and the process held in the court
of Canterbury, shown to the king in chancery under the seal of the official

appeal ordered the sheriff to direct the bishop to be in chancery on

Hogham, her steward there, who delivered it in the queen's court by a rod
to John Alwy, to hold at will, rendering 4s. yearly ; and John sowed the
land and reaped the corn as his own, yet the justices proceeded in the plea

Roland, then sheriff of Cumberland, to receive the wine by indenture, and

the archbishop's lands in Austwode, but that John Moryn, late escheator
beyond Trent, at the time of Thomas's substitution in the office,
delivered to him by indenture the said messuage and land, assert-

Thomas de Corbrig, sometime archbishop of York, who held them

Thomas his predecessor granted the premises to Richard, his bondman, to

by the archbishop's demise, wherefore the archbishop besought the king to
order his hand to be amoved, and the king ordered the escheator to take an

in which he was bound to the king for divers causes, as she has besought
the king to order this to be done, as the memoranda touching the account
and the tallies and letters of acquittance testifying payments of the said
debts and money of the issues of the manor, were eloigned and lost during
John's lifetime, as the king has been informed by Joan, and the king several

him to have paid to Gerard, the king's fletcher staying in Somerton castle,
for his wages of 8(/. daily, and for fuel (forali) for the king's works,
as John paid 121. IGd. to Gerard for his wages and 20.s. for the fuel,
as may fully appear, he says, by parts of indentures in his possession made
between Gerard and himself.

To the same. Like order of allowance for John for what they shall find
him to have paid to Philip de Wyndesore, whom the king directed to stay
in CO. Lincoln with four greyhounds, for his wages and the puture of the
greyhounds, as John paid 14s. 4d!. to Philip for this, as may appear, he
says, by an indenture in his possession made between Philip and himself.

To the same. Whereas the king ordered Thomas de Foxle, constable of
Wyndesore castle, to place ten men at arms and twenty archers in the
castle for its safe custody, and ordered the treasurer and chamberlains to pay
reasonable wages to the men for the time they should remain there, and
now the king has learned from Thomas that although the men have
remained in the castle from 18 August last, yet no payment or satisfaction
has been made to them hitherto, wherefore the men intend to depart from
the castle, the king orders the treasurer and barons to view the said orders,
and after taking information upon the stay of the men in the castle and
accounting with Thomas for the wages of these men, to cause allowance to
be made to Thomas in the debts which he owes at the exchequer, for what
they shall find to be in arrear to the said men for their wages.

To the same. Order to allow to Michael Mynyot, late the king's
butler, 192 tuns of wine, as the king lately caused a certain
number of tuns of wine to be purveyed by him at Southampton, and
part to be laded in ships there to be taken to the king to parts
beyond the sea ; and afterwards at his suit showing that a quantity of
the wine had been plundered and consuined by alien enemies who
invaded the town and stayed some time there and that part of the
wine remained after the departure of the enemies, and was carried
away by the men of the town, the king appointed Edmund de la Beche,
the abbot of King's Beaulieu, and Robert Daundele to take an inquisi-
tion on the matter by men of co. Southampton, and by the inquisition
taken by Edmund and Robert it is found that on Monday after
Michaelmas last Michael had 194 tuns of red wine at that town, pur-
veyed for the king's use by Peter Pageham, supplying his place, where-
of 152 tuns were loaded in a ship called ' la Nicholas ' of Great
Yarmouth, to be taken to the king, and that 42 tuns were in divers
houses of the town and that the said wine was plundc^rcd by the king's
enemies who invaded the town on that day and burned it on the
following Tuesday, except two tuns of the wine, which remained in
the town after their departure and came into the hands of Robert
Rypon, Peter's serjeant ; and now Michael has besought the king to
order the lost tuns to be allowed to him. By C.

council the king ordained that the great seal should be delivered to
Robert, then archdeacon of Canterbury, on Monday, 24 March, in the
11th year of the reign, and granted him 500/. yearly of the issues of the
hanaper, in aid of his expenses as chancellor, beyond the customary fees,
and if the said issues were not sufficient then the chancellor should
receive what was lacking at the exchequer, and the king ordered the
keeper to pay the said 501. yearly from the said 21 March ; and on the
6 July last Robert discharged himself of the office and delivered the
great seal to the king at Walton and besought the king to order 142Z.

in Portugal, which were taken from him for the king's use for supplying a
galley of the king of Wynchelse by the mayor and bailifls of Wynchelse
and others, and because the tackle and rigging and the damages caused by
their seizure were extended at 50Z., the king ordered the treasurer and
chamberlains to pay John 501., charging the mayor, bailiffs and others
therewith. By C.

To the mayor, bailifls and steward of Bristol. Thomas Tropyn and John
de Lym, collectors of the king's wool in that town, have besought the king
to order 6/. 10s. 3d. to be allowed to them in their account, as they
hired certain houses in the town for the wool which they collected from
20 August last until 29 March following, for that sum ; and on the
supplication being shown before the council it seemed that the king ought
not to hire houses for his wool nor pay money for hire for so short a time,
wherefore it is ordained by the council that if such money was paid or
if the collectors bound themselves to pay it, that money shall be levied
of the community of the town and delivered to the collectoi-s; the king
therefore orders the mayor and others to cause the said sum to be
assessed on the men of that town and levied of them, and to discharge
the collectors of that sum. By C.

To the taxers and collectors in co. Northumberland of the triennial
tenth and fifteenth granted by the community of the realm. William
archbishop of York has shown the king that whereas he holds the liberty
of Hextildesham and has royal rights therein as his predecessors have from
time out of mind, without the king or his predecessors or their ministers
intermeddling therein, except in default of the archbishop, and although
the archbishops were wont to assess tenths and fifteenths and other quotas
on the men of the liberty by their own bailiffs and ministers, and deliver
the money when levied to the collectors appointed to levy the same in co.
Northumberland, so that taxers and collectors never entered the liberty, yet
these taxers and collectors intend to do so, to assess the men there afresh,
wherefore the archbishop has besought the king to provide a remedy ; the
king therefore orders the collectors to permit the archbishop to assess and
collect the tenth and fifteenth by his own ministers, and to receive the
money when collected from the archbishop or his bailiffs.

sometime archdeacon there, demised to Owyn ap Griffith then archdeacon
of Cardygan for a term of fifteen years, which came into the hands of
Edward I by Owyn's forfeiture, process is so far taken that Adam de
Fyncham, who lately followed for the king in the matter, and Gritfin have
placed themselves in inquisition of the country before the king, which
inquisition was long delayed ; and although it is agreed by the common
council of the realm, that inquisitions and jurats in pleas of land not of
great examination shall be taken in the county before a justice of the spot
where the plea is moved, a lawful knight or other being associated with
him, and that inquisitions requiring great examination shall be taken

delayed to take the inquisition in that plea by writ of nisi i>rius, because
the plea touches the king, whereupon Griffin ha.^ besought the king to

ment to Thomas de Bello Campo, earl of Warwick, captain of the army
lately sent to Scotland, and to other lieges there in garrison at Berwick-
upon-Tweed, St. John of Perth, and the castles of Edenburgh and Stryvelyn,
and Richard has delayed to do this because the receipt and livery of that
money had been mostly made after he left the office of keeper and when

him to summon John and his controller, to receive the control, audit the
account and further to do what the nature of the account requires.

refused to set out in the king's service on a ship called ' la co;/ Thomas '

ship, because, although the king ordered him to be taken by the sheriff of
Kent, and to be kept in prison until further orders, Richard and Thomas

Robert will behave well henceforth and obey the king's orders, and will

learned that by reason of certain liberties in the county they have delayed

is about to send to the march of Scotland against the Scots who

Cherlewode church, made a recognisance to Hugh le Despenser the elder
on 4 September in the 7th year of the late king's reign, if they find that
satisfaction was made to Hugh for the same, as he says ; as they distrain
Henry because he did not come before them to show cause why the 20Z.

reason of Hugh's forfeiture, and Henry could not come because he is in
the king's service in parts beyond the sea, wherefore the treasurer and

and ports whence they came, to be sent to a certain place, to set out in
the company of Robert de Morle, admiral of the fleet from the mouth of
the Thames towards the North, and because the setting out of the ships
might be retarded by the provision of victuals if aid were not otherwise
given to the men of the said towns, the king ordered the sheriff to
cause victuals to be purveyed by the advice of the admiral or of those
deputed by him, by indenture made with those from whom the victuals
were taken, paying the men for the victuals with the first issues of his
bailiwick, if the sheriff' had no money ready, and to deliver the victuals to

in aid of their maintenance ; and the admiral took a ship of war with
forty mariners and victuals for three months of John Irpe of Ipswich,
beyond the ships ordained to set out with the fleet, as may appear by the
admiral's letters patent in John's possession, he says, wherefore John has
besought the king to satisfy him for the victuals ; the king therefore orders

indenture with John thereupon, after viewing the admiral's letter.

Atilburgh, and Elyngham, co. Norfolk, to Alice late the wife of William
de Bernak, whose fealty the king has taken, together with the issues
thereof ; as the king has learned by inquisition taken by the escheator,
that William and Alice held the said tenements jointly, at William's death,
of the gift and enfeoffment of Gilbert de Bernak, parson of Tateshale
church and of John de Gyselyngham, parson of Wolverton church, by the
licence of the late king, and that the tenements, which formerly belonged

Isabella late the wife of Thomas de Litleton 6 acres of land and 2j acres
of pasture in AVardon co. Bedford, together with the issues thereof from
6 August in the 8th year of the reign, in aid of the maintenance of her
children, as the king ordered the sheriff of Bedford to deliver the premises
to her together with the issues thereof [as in this Calendar 11 Edtvard HI,
paf/r 21] and the sheriff" returned that the premises were committed to him,
by the king's writ of the exchequer, to be kept safely, answering to the
king for the issues thereof, so that he could not deliver them to Isabella
without a writ of the exchequer discharging him of the issues ; the king
therefore ordered the treasurer and barons to deliver the premises to Isabella
together with the issues thereof, or to show cause in chancery why they
should not do so ; and they certified that the sheriff of Bedford has in his
custody by the king's commission 10 acres of land and 1 acres of pasture
in Wardon, which came into the late king's hands by reason of the alienation
thereof made by .John de Boweles to divers men without licence, and
because there is nothing at the exchequer concerning the lands mentioned
in the king's writ, and it is not known there whether the 6 acres of land
and 2i acres of meadow are parcel of the 10 acres of land and 4 acres of
meadow, they did not proceed to execute the order, and it is testified
before the king in chancery that the 0 acres and 2h acres are parcel of the

of Eye chaplain, their corrody and maintenance, or the reasonable value
thereof, from the Annunciation henceforth, so long as the custody of the
priory of Eye is in the hands of Henry and Nicholas, as the king lately
committed that custody to the prior, and because the prior surrendered the
priory and its possessions to the kmg, before the council, the king com-
mitted the custody thereof to Henry and Nicholas, to hold during pleasure,
answering to the king for the issues thereof, saving to the prior and monks
their wages ; and afterwards at the suit of Richard, Denis and Roger show-
ing that the prior and convent had granted them certain corrodies for life,
before the priory was taken into the king's hands and beseeching the king
to order the corrodies to be delivered to them, the king appointed Hugh de
Saxham, Walter Faucoun and Robert de Brundissh to take an inquisition
upon the matter by men of co. Suffolk, by which it is found that the prior
and convent granted to Richard a chamber in the priory befitting his
estate within the cloister of the priory, and that he should sit at the prior's
table, unless he wished to retire on account of reverence for magnates, and
that he should receive in meat and drink at two repasts daily as much as
a monk receives at the prior's table, and if he should dine in his chamber,
he should receive every day from the cellarer, two white loaves, one of the
prior's hall and one called 'coket,' and li gallons of conventual ale, and
of the cooking of the Serjeants in flesh and fish according to the exigences
of the day, as one monk at the prior's table received them, at two repasts,
and should receive from All Saints until the Purification, yearly for life, 2
candles a month for the night for his chamber for which twenty should
make a pound, and fuel for burning in his chamber, according to the
exigence of the time, for life, and if he did not stay in the priory, he should
receive daily for life ifrom the cellarer, two white conventual loaves of greater
weight and two gallons of conventual ale, wherever he should be ; and that
Robert was seised of this corrody from Friday before the Conversion of St.Paul
in the 6th year of the reign, until the Annunciation last; and that the prior
and convent granted that Denis should receive two conventual loaves of
greater weight and two gallons of conventual ale a day without the priory,
and a robe with fur of the suit and colour of the robes of the prior's
esquires, yearly at Christmas, for life, and that he was seised of this
corrody from ]\Ionday the feast of St. Margaret in the 6th year of the
reign until the Annunciation last ; and that brother Durand, a former
prior and the convent granted that Roger should receive for life in the
priory from the cellarer daily, a monk's loaf, of greater weight, another
loaf of lesser weight and 1 i gallons of the better ale of the convent, and
on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday, every week, an entire mess of raw meat,
and on the other days a mess of fish or ifl. in lieu thereof, as he or his
attorney shall choose, and a clerk's robe yearly, of the price of 1 mark or a
mark at Christmas, and he was seised of that corrody from 6 Ides October,
in the 7th year of the late king's reign, until the Annunciation last, and

to order letters obligatory to be made to them for the residue of that wool,
as they are assessed at a certain sum of wool according to the rate of the

wool in that county according to the rate of the fifteenth, that John
Burghard is assessed at 20 stones of wool in Lynn, at 5 stones in Gey ton

To William Trussel, escheator this side Trent. Order to deliver to Thomas
son of Geoffrey de Besyles and Beatrice daughter of Percival Symeon
the manor of Reccote, co. Oxford, together with the issues thereof, because
the king has learned by inquisition taken by the escheator that Geoffrey

said manor for life of the gift and enfeoffment of Robert Walle and John
de Erlestok, by a fine levied in the late king's court, by his licence, with
reversion to Thomas and Beatrice, and to the heirs of their bodies, and in

place, without delay, to be detained in the Tower until he has satisfied
the king, as John was judged to the Flete prison because he was
bound to the king in divers suras for the arrears of his account, and
because he did not answer to the king for the wool collected by him in that
county and for the money of the tenth and fifteenth received by him there ;
and the king has learned that John does not care to satisfy the king
because he is not so strictly guarded m the prison as is fitting, and the
king wishes him to be detained in stricter custody because he needs money
speedily for his affairs in parts beyond the sea. The king has ordered the
constable and him who supplies his place to receive John and keep him as
aforesaid. By the keeper and C.

king learned from the bishop that although he was not asked to be present
at the last parliament at Westminster, because he was then in Ireland in
the king's service, and was not present there in person or by his proctor,
wherefore he could not then grant any wool to the king, yet the takers and
purveyors of wool in co. Hereford caused him to be distrained to supply
such wool, and the king wishing to do justice to the bishop ordered the
said takers and purveyors to supersede taking the said wool, and although
they did so, yet the treasurer and barons charged the abbot with 1 sack

became more bold, and the citizens beseeching the king to grant the town

after John's death, and the manors of Geddyng, Laxton and Pyghtesle, are

before the council that they were merchants of the German Hanse, and
they had a charter of the late king, confirmed by the king, that they should
not be arrested or their goods for any debt for which they were not sureties
or principal debtors or for any trespass committed by others ; and that
the towns of Lubik, Rostok and Strallesond are subject to the Roman
empire and emperor, and they are not bound to obey the counts of
Guelders and Hainault, the king gave to John de Nesbit, John Lambe and
the said merchants, a day upon the premises until the quinzaine of
Michaelmas next, so that justice might be done after the affair had been
examined by the king and council, and the king ordered the bailiffs to
dearrest the tuns and deliver them to the merchants if they should find
security with which John and John should be satisfied, to have the tuns or
the price thereof on the said day, unless they could show that they ought
of right to be dearrested ; and because the said towns are of the Roman

manor of Codyngton and is of Ralph's soil as part of the manor, in which
plots the earls of Chester used to have an easement, to wit, that all men of
Wales or elsewhere coming to the king's peace in time of war could lodge
there for a year and a day without drawing bolts, and Ralph approved
himself of a part of this plot by the earl's licence by a fine made to him,

beyond the first approvement, without licence ; and afterwards the king
learned from Ralph that ho did not approve himself of 10 acres of land
beyond the first approvement, but that the 10 acres were part of the plot
first approved by him by licence ; the king therefore ordered Thomas to
take an inquisition iipon the matter, by which it is found that Ralph
approved himself nothing in that plot beyond the first approvement and
that the plot is sufficient for the lodgement aforesaid notwithstanding the
said approvement, and the king ordered Thomas not to intermeddle further
with the said 10 acres, and Ralph has informed the king that the one
supplying the justice's place has taken that land into the duke's hand by

portion of the fifteenth as all the inhabitants were wont to pay before the

amoved William therefrom and delivered the manor to Laurence, in
accordance with the king's order, at the suit of William showing that

reign, to wit 60Z. upon the expenses of the household in Wyndesore park

because it is found before them that he and Henry received those sums as
a prest of the wardrobe upon the late king's expenses in the said park and

To Edmund de la Beche, keeper of the town of Southampton. Order to
supersede the exaction made on the prior of Styveton to find a man at
arms for the custody of that town by reason of his lands in the county, as
the prior has shown that although the priory was taken into the king's
hands as alien, and the custody thereof delivered to him for rendering a
certain ferm yearly, yet the treasurer and barons distrain the prior to find
a man at arms for that custody, by reason of his lands in the county,
pretending that the priors of the place and other alien men of religion
underwent such charges in time of war, wherefore the prior has asserted
before the council that he now pays a greater sum for the custody than
was paid in times past, and the matter being brought before the council, it is
considered that it would be to the king's hurt if the priory and its possessions
were surrendered to the king's hand. By C.

themselves to the mayor and community who have besought the king to

there to deliver these to Mary, and although she has never received them,
yet the steward of the county retains 40 marks, which he levied as his fee
by reason of the custody of the lands of the king and others in the county
and court, and proposes to levy as much for his fee for the present year
although he does not intermeddle with the lands of the countess or answer

the king to provide a remedy ; the king therefore orders the keeper and
others to cause what is in arrear of the said perquisites from the said
1 March, to be delivered to the countess and to deliver them henceforth
when they are levied, and not to permit the steward to levy anything
beyond what pertains to him for his fee, but to permit the countess to be

taken on the matter in the presence of the citizens of Waterford and of

to the city of Waterford if the king grants that merchants shall go as
aforesaid to the said town, but rather to the benefit of the king and the

go to the city, and that merchants used to go to the town in the time of

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to allow to Ralph
de Nevill, keeper of the forest beyond Trent, such fee in his account, as
has hitherto been allowed to other keepers of the forest, as he has
besought the king to cause such allowance to be made, as he requested the

reason of an ordinance of the king and council not to pay the fees of any
of the king's ministers during the necessity for money for the king's
affairs ; and the king has considered Ralph's good service in the marches of

to take the fealty of Matilda late the wife of Ed[mund] son of John de
Benstede and deliver to her a messuage, 45 acres of land and 30s. rent in
Welcomstowe, co. Essex, together with the issues thereof [as in this Calendar

king committed the custody of the lands which belonged to Ed[mund], on
14 March in the 12th year of the reign, to hold until the heir should come of
age, beseeching the king to cause the messuage and land in Heygham to be
delivered to him with the other lands of the inheritance, because it was
shown to the king by John de Caly, knight, and by the said Matilda now
his wife, that the messuage and land are the same as the lauds which the
king ordered to be delivered to Matilda, the king ordered the sheriff of
Essex to cause John and Matilda to bo in chancery on the quinzaine of
Michaelmas last, which day the king gave to Walter, to show cause why
the said lands should not be delivered to W^alter and further to do and

the king ordered Thomas to take an inquisition upon the matter by men of
the county, by which it is found that the 7 acres which William de Clapham
delivered to John Moryn as a messuage and 12 acres, were only 7 acres
which William de Vescy arented to Hugh for rendering 5s. as aforesaid and
which the king rendered to John as aforesaid.

To the taxers and collectors in co. Southampton of the triennial tenth

the men there to be assessed according to the quantity of the goods which
they now have, and to cause the tenth to be levied of them according to
that assessment, for the third year, as the men of the town have besought
the king to have consideration for their estate, as the town and goods
therein were burned by certain enemies attacking it in galleys, so that
several men there who were wont to dwell there and support the charges of
the town with their fellow-burgesses, have not wherewith to live or where
to dwell and have withdrawn from the town, wherefore the burgesses now
staying there do not suffice to pay so much as they were wont to pay.

in his company, and the treasurer wishing to satisfy Ralph and pretending
that he was bound in 100 marks to the king for the custody of the land
and heir of Roger de Huntyngfeld, committed to him for rendering a
certain sum of money to the king, caused a tally of the receipt for 100
marks to be levied in Ralph's name and delivered to him although he only
owed 511. 13s. id. for the custody, wherefore the treasurer and barons
caused 511. IBs. id. to be allowed in the 100 marks, and adjudged that 15Z.

Potente, chaplain, his attorney, and Paul has besought the king to cause

that diocese, paid that sum at the exchequer for 11 sacks 7 stones 3^ pounds
of his portion of wool in that diocese, according to the rate of the fifteenth,
which are included in the quantity of wool aforesaid, the king therefore

although keepers of the Tower have usually received 100^ yearly for that
fee, and Roger only received 57^. Sn. by divers writs of liberate from
13 August to 16 October in the 17th year, when he was amoved from the

Robert de Burghton, rector of the Tower chapel, then receiver of the late
king's victuals in the Tower, certain victuals appraised at 97^ 6.s. Qd. as
appears by rolls and memoranda of the exchequer, yet the treasurer and
others distrain Robert for that sum, because Roger acknowledged before

and to permit pilgrims to enter the castle and depart thence, so that com-
plaint thereupon may not be repeated to the king, provided that the castle
be safely guarded against the attacks of the king's enemies, as on
4 February in the 5th year of the reign at the suit of the dean and chapter,
by their petition before the king and his council in parliament beseeching
the king to permit them to enclose the castle, build places for their abode
therein and repair and maintain the herbage pertaining thereto in the
town of Hastyng, for which no answer had previously been made to the
king or his progenitors, in aid of the said enclosing, because the chapel for
lack of such enclosure was mostly ruined by the frequent inundations of the
sea, and has several times been broken into by day and night by mtilefac-
tors, and the relics, ornaments and treasure plundered and the ministers
beaten, wounded and ill-treated, and because it was found by inquisition
taken by Simon do Bereford, sometime escheator this side Trent, that the
king might grant this without injury or prejudice to himself, he granted
that permission to the dean and chapter, and now the king has learned
from the plaint of the canons that William prevents the canons and
others from living in their said houses and does not permit the entrance of
pilgrims resorting thither, in whose oblations the nuiintenance of the said
vicars and ministers consists, whereupon the king has boon besought to

has learned by the record of Geoffrey le Scrope and his fellows, justices
appointed to hold pleas before the king, that John was imprisoned for
killing John Messeday in defending himself, so that he could not escape
death otherwise and on the 6 February the king pardoned him the suit of

year of the reign the king committed to him the bailiwick of the said
hundred to hold for life as John Meryet, deceased, held it by the late king's
commission, so that he should keep it in accordance with the statute of
Lincoln, and afterwards on its being found by inquisition taken by William
Trussel, then escheator this side Trent, that John held certain lands in
Luyton by the service of the sixth part of a knight's fee, the said hundred,
a fourth part of the manor of Magor, co. Gloucester, by the service of a
fourth part of a sixth part of a knight's fee and certain lands in Stur-
menstre Marchal, co. Dorset, by knight's service in chief by the law of
England of the inheritance of Mary his wife, deceased, and that John de
Bello Campo of Somerset, Henry son of Roger son of Peter son of
Reginald, then a minor in the king's wardship, the kinsmen of Matilda de
Kymes, John de Bohun of co. Essex, John de Mohun of Dunsterre and
Hugh de Mortuo Mari of Cheilmersh were Mary's next heirs, and that
Henry was then aged eight years, the others being of full age, on 11 July in
the second year of the reign, the king took Hugh's homage for his purparty
of the said lands and gave John, John and John respite for their homage
until a certain time, and rendered their purparties to John, John, John
and Hugh, ordering William to take security from them for rendering
their reliefs at the exchequer, and after making a legal partition of all the
said lands in the presence of the heirs and parceners into four equal parts
to cause John de Bohun, John de Mohun and Hugh to have seisin of
their purparties, and dividing the fourth part between John de Bello
Campo and Henry to cause John to have seisin of his purparty, retaining
the purparty of Henry in the king's hand until further order, informing the
king if there was any reason why he should not do so ; and subsequently
because William returned that a partition of the hundred could not be

Richard to hold for life, the king ordered the sheriff of Bedford to direct
Richard to be in chancery on a certain day now long past, which day the
king gave to the heirs and parceners, to show cause why the hundred

noted in the account of Richard de Ellesfeld are the same as the 100 livres
Tournois for which the 20Z. are exacted of him, if they find by Richard's
account that Henry accounted for the 100 livres Tournois and that they were
allowed to him, as he has shown the king that whereas the late king sent
him to ports beyond the sea on his afiairs, and he received 100 livres
Tournois to the value of 201. sterling, of Gaillardus de Casa, then constable
of Bordeaux, by the hands of Anthony de Peysseyn, upon his expenses, and
although he accounted for this before Richard, late constable of Bordeaux,
and charged himself with that sum in the account and the said sum was
allowed to him for his expenses, as may appear by letters testimonial of John
Travers late constable of Bordeaux and of John Guitard, late controller
there, which are in Henry's possession, as he says, yet the treasurer and
barons intend to charge Henry with the 201. because the account of Roger,
bishop of Coventry and Lichfield, keeper of the late king's wardrobe,

be admitted to his inheritance, and that Margaret late the earl's wife
should have her dower of the lands which belonged to the earl, notwith-
standing the judgment against him, the king assigned to her the said ferm,

ordered the treasurer and barons to supersede the demand made upon the
abbot and convent for that ferm from the said 4 May, and the treasurer

one on his part did not show before them any letters of acquittance of
Edward or of Margaret wife of Edmund earl of Kent, to whom the ferm
was assigned, and those to whom such ferms and rents are granted in fee
simple, tallaged and for life, have to sue against the detainers of the same

year of the reign, and to pay those wages henceforth, so long as he is
sheriff and as Giles remains in that bailiwick for the said cause, or

reason of the death of the abbesses, and the present abbess has sued for the
same, yet they have delayed to proceed to the final discussion of the affair,
whereupon she has besought the king to provide a remedy ; and because
the affair being examined before the king and his council in parliament at
Westminster on the morrow of the Purification in the 12th year of the
reign it was ordained that the plea and affair upon the premises should be
held in the exchequer and determined there, because the exactions made by
the abbesses for the third penny of the town are uncertain because the
third penny is extended now at a greater now at a lesser ferm according to
the annual profits in the town, wherefore the process thereupon naturally
demands a process or way of account which cannot be determined at
common law by writ de libera tenemento, and for other reasons ; the king
therefore orders the treasurer and barons to hear the plaint of the abbess,

that they should enclose the cemetery and its precinct with a stone
wall, and should maintain it, making gates and posterns in necessary
places, and that these should be open every day from dawn till
night, and should be closed at night, because homicide, fornication and
other evil deeds were frequently perpetrated at night in the cemetery and
its precinct by the nocturnal incursion of robbers and other malefactors,
and the community of the city and Edmund son of Richard king of Almain
and earl of Cornwall, granted to the bishop, dean and chapter licence to

in London, up to the sum of the 891 marks 5.s. 9frf. remaining. The king
also granted that if the money of the petty custom did not amount to
891 marks 5s. 9frf. yearly, then satisfaction should be made to the earl for
what was lacking from the issues of the great custom in the port of London
by the hands of the collectors there, and if the issues exceeded that sum,
then answer should be made to the exchequer for the surplus as aforesaid,

ment and attaints except suits summoned before the justices in eyre
in their eyres, and although Robert was prepared to set out, he was hindered
by the death of Margaret his wife, so that the king excused him for not
coming then and ordered Edward, the keeper of England, etc. to hold
him excused ; and now the king has learned that Henry earl of Lancas-
ter, asserting that Robert obtained the letters of protection by fraud
and collusion, brings a writ aganist him before the justices in which
it is said that the earl has impleaded Robert to render to him John son and
heir of Ed[mund] Peverel, whose custody pertains to the earl because
Edmirnd held his land of him by knight service, and that Robert contriving
to elude the day fixed by the justices between the earl and himself in the
Bench, and to prorogue the earl's suit, had caused the said letters of
protection to be made, and that so the suit has remained without a day ;

his substitution in the office, a messuage newly made in the toft and
2 acres of meadow, asserting that they were in the king's hands by reason
of the trespass of John fitz Richard in acquiring them in fee without

by Owen's forfeiture, which plea was continued until the quinzaine of

To the treasurer and barons of the exclioqner. Tlot^^er Corlxit son and
heir of Tbomas Corbet, sometime sherili" of Salop and Stattbrd, has informed
the king that whereas Thomas, when sherili" of Edward I in those counties,
paid divers sums by writs under the groat and privy seals to certain persons
for wages and expenses, and although he showed the writs and indentures
testifying payment of those sums before the treasurer and barons, to have
allowance thereof, as may appear it is said by view of his account, which
remains before the treasurer and barons in the exchcq^uer, it is said, yet
they have delayed to proceed to make allowance to Roger, because he did
not show the writs and indentures, which are lost by mishap as he is
prepared to prove before them in the exchequer, whereupon he has besought
the king to provide a remedy : the king therefore orders the treasurer and
barons to cause Roger to have allowance for the said sums in his account if
they find after viewing the rolls and memoranda touching the account that
the writs and indentures viewed in the exchequer at another time have
been amoved. By C.

reason of the knights' fees and advowsons which belonged to Giles de
Badelesmere, tenant in chief, concerning which advowson a contention was
moved in the king's court between him and Simon de Swanneslond and
William de Kesteven, clerk, so long as the matter was in dispute, because
John de Stonore, chief justice of the Bench, has shown in chancery by the
king's order that upon inspection of the rolls and memoranda of the Bench,
no plea has been found between the king and Simon concerning that
church, but there is a plea between the king and William as to whether
W^illiam shall permit the king to present a fit pcirson, and William has
appeared in chancery and renounced his right of presenting for this turn.-^

that the prior yearly pays the said ferm of 40 marks, Avhich amounts to the
true value of the lands pertaining to the priory, and that if tlic prior is
charged with the ninth he will not bo able to pay his said ferm.

of Brabant to sell all their cloth now brought to the realm, without affixing

To William de Eos, Order to attorn himself to William de la Pole as
the lord of the manor of Skipse, if he be tenant thereof, and to answer to
him for his services, as the king lately granted that manor and the

presents, to deliver 2001. to Eobert Tughale, chamberlain of Berwick in
accordance with a previous order, so that for lack thereof the king may not
have cause to cause the temporalities of the abbey to be taken into his
hands, knowing that the king will impute to him any danger arising from
the non-payment of that sum, and will punish him, as the king lately
ordered him by writ of the exchequer to pay 200Z. to Eobert upon the
wages of the men at arms staying in garrison at Berwick, receiving from
Eobert the tallies of the exchequer levied in the abbot's name, containing that
sum, and although Eobert has diligently sued for payment because several
men in garrison at Berwick have withdrawn to other parts for lack of
payment of their wages, and others propose to go shortly, yet the abbot has
not hitherto cared to pay that sura to Eobert.

demand made upon Edmund do la Bocho, clerk, for 200 marks, for which
he made a recognisance in the late king's chancery, to the said king, to save
his life, because he is of the quarrel of Thomas earl of Lancaster, and the
late king sent the tenor of the recognisance to the exchequer, so that the
200 marks are now levied of Edmund for the king's use, and the king has
caused the recognisance to be cancelled because it was agreed in parliament,
at Westminster in the first year of the reign, that all fines, obligations,
redemptions and recognisances made by those who were of the said quarrel,
to save their lives or lands, by reason of the prosecution of Hugh le
Despenser the elder and Hugh le Despenser the younger, should be annulled,

with, restoring the issues thereof, as the escheator returned that he had
taken that land into the king's hand because John de Hynton, late parson
of Paulesholt church, acquired it without licence after the publication of the
statute of mortmain ; and learning afterwards from William that John
acquired the land for himself and succeeding parsons of that church of
Moses Cole long before the statute, the king ordered the escheator to take
an inquisition upon the matter, by which it is found that John acquired the
land of Moses long before the publication of the statute, in the 3rd year of
the reign of Edward I, wherefore William has besought the king to order his
hand to be amoved.

abbot of St. Nicholas, Angers, if it is due to him, or to William Solis, his
proctor in England, provided that answer is made to the king for that pen-

possessions of alien men of religion of the power of France, and afterwards
committed the custody thereof to William, for rendering 5G^. 13s. id. yearly

much damage was done to the lands by certain of the king's ministers and
others upon the pretext that they were in the king's hand, and because the
king desires to maintain ecclesiastical liberties and rights, and the proctor

king and the justice of South Wales and he who supplies his place by divers
commissions, at the time when Thomas was chamberlain, made divers
ministers and fermors of commotes and cantreds and other places in South
Wales pertaining to the office of the chamber, and although several of
these, of whose names Thomas has informed them, as he says, do not
answer to him because they do not hold their commissions by him or with
his assent, and he cannot levy issues of them or ferms, although he has
applied all diligence to this, yet the treasurer and barons exact those issues
and ferms of him ; the king therefore orders the treasurer and barons to
call before them those named by Thomas, and if they find from them or by
inquisition or otherwise that the said custodies are held as he says and that
those who hold such commissions have received the issues and ferms and
have not answered to him therefor, and that he has not levied them of

May 18, To John de Stonore and his fellows, justices of the Bench. Whereas,

Westminster, as the king has learned, a former abbot of Woburn impleaded in the court
of Edward I, before Thomas de Weyland and his fellows, justices of the
Bench, in the 7th year of the reign, one John de Braybrok to acquit the
abbot of a service which Edward I exacted of him of the free tenement which
he held of John in Swanbourn, whereof John, who was mean between the
king and abbot, ought to acquit the abbot as he said, and John acknow-
ledged in the court that he ought to acquit the abbot of a boll of honey
yearly, of 5 hides of land in Swanebourn which the abbot held of him in
frank almoin, but by default of John's acquittance he was never distrained
and he is ready to verify this by the country, and by inquisition of the
country in which John placed himself it was found that the abbot was dis-
trained for default of John's acquittance to damage of 20 marks, wherefore
it was considered that the abbot should recover his damages against John,
and that John should be distrained to acquit the abbot of the said honey
towards the king ; and lately at the suit of the present abbot showing that
he was distrained for the said service by John de Molyus, to whom the king
granted the manor of Brehull, to which the service pertains, for default of
Gerard son of Gerard de Braybrok, John's kinsman and heir, the king
caused the record and process held upon the premises to come before him in
chancery and sent them to the justices for execution, and ordered thesherit)"
of Buckingham by writ dejndicio to cause Gerard to be before the justices
on a certain day now past to show cause why he, as John's heir, should not
acquit the abbot of that service ; and now the abbot has shown the king
that Gerard, contriving to impede the process before the justices, has pro-
cured a writ of error concerning the said record and process, so that the
king should send them before the justices to be corrected, pending the suit
of the abbot for executing the judgment rendered before Thomas and his
fellows, to impede the abbot from that suit, wherefore the justices have
delayed to proceed in the suit begun before them upon the said writ of scire
facias ; and because it is neither just nor reasonable that the plea by writ
of scire facias should be delayed by reason of the writ for correcting an error
before the said plea has been discussed or determined before the justices,
having consideration that judgment was rendered before Thomas and his
fellows in the time of Edward II and that errors were not claimed by John,
Gerard and Gerard before the impetration of the writ of scire fiuias was
pursued, to impede the suit, by Genu-d's cunning; the king orders the
justices to view the record and process held before Thomas and his fellows
and those held before themselves and the writ for correeting an eiivr, and
if they find that the writ was impetrated pending the abbot's suit, then to
proceed in the plea begun before them until the final discussion of the same
and to render justice to the parties according to tlu> law and custom of the
realm, notwithstanding the order to send the record and prcK'ess U'foiv the

To the justices of the Bench. John bishop of Exeter has shown the king
that whereas Adam de Helygan impleads him, Thomas de Stapeldon and
others contained in the writ of quarc inipcdit, that they shall permit him to
present a parson to Malynyet church, and the bishop has asserted that he
claims nothing in the advowson except as ordinary of the place, wherefore
he is not bound to answer the writ, and the justices, because Adam pre-
tended that the bishop prevented him from presenting and was ready to
verify this, adjudged the bishop to the verification although he alleged that
he ought not to answer to such general verification without Adam showing
in special in what he was to answer ; and although the bishop requested
them to cause his plea to be enrolled or a bill thereon to be sealed according
to the statute and delivered to him, yet they refused this but ordered the
continuation of the process upon the premises by writ dejmlicio to the sheriff
of Cornwall to cause the jurors of the county to come before them for such
verification, which is taken contrary to the law and custom of the realm,
wherefore the bishop has besought the king by his petition before the king
and his council in parliament to provide a remedy ; and because it was
declared in the parliament held at Westminster on the octaves of Hilary
last, by the justices and other lieges, in the presence of the prelates, earls,
barons and other magnates of the realm, that no bishop is bound to
answer to a general impediment in a writ of quare impedit in any case when
he claims nothing in an advowson except as ordinary of the place, the king
orders the justices to view the record and process held upon the premises
and if they contain that the bishop claims nothing in the advowson except
as ordinary of the place and was placed to answer and plead to a general
impediment, or that no certain or special impediment is imposed upon him
in the matter, then to supersede taking further process against him and the
taking of the inquisition upon the premises. By pet. of C.

To the sheriff of Essex. Order to cause 20 good oaks fit for timber in
the park of Haveryng atte Boure to be cut down and sawn by the supervision

the park to the Tower of Loudon for the repair of certain buildings there.

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer and to the chamberlains.
Whereas on 20 September in the 12th year of the reign the king ordered
the collectors of customs in the part of London to permit Anthony Bache
of Lombardy to take 100 sacks of wool to his own parts without paying the
custom and subsidy thereon [as in this Calendar 12 Eduard III, page 499],
and afterwards -John archbishop of Canterbury testified before the king that
the king, at tlie request of Nicholas Usus Maris, constable of Bordeaux,
granted that Anthony or his attorneys should buy 200 sacks of wool in the
realm, lade them in ports where he should choose and take them to parts
beyond, paying lOs. a sack for the custom and subsidy, the king, not wishing
Anthony to be charged with the said 200/. beyond the iOOl. on the said 200
sacks, orders the treasurer, I)arons and chamberlains to receive the said '100/.
and to supersede the demand )nade on Anthony for the 200/. of the incre-
ment of the custom and subsidy aforesaid, and to discharge him and the
.said collectors thereof at the exchequer. By p.s.

of 2 borates of hind in Uaventhorp near Northburton, and of a messuge
and 2 bovates of hind in Etton near Northburton, as it was hitely found by
inquisition taken by Robert do Scardeburgh and William Basset that
Robert do Scorburgh gave by divers charters, to William and Roger, his
sons, the said manor and all his other lands in Staynfordbrigg and the
bovates and messuage ; and afterwards the king learned by inquisition
of office taken by Thomas de Metham, escheator beyond Trent, and by
the assertion of certain lieges, that Robert was seised at his death m
his demesne as of fee of the said manor and lands, and that Thomas
his son and heir is an idiot from birth, wherefore the custody of the
manor and lands ought to pertain to the king, and the king sent the
inquisition taken before him by Robert and William to be discussed,
and committed the custody of the premises to Wolfard at his request,
to hold so long as the manor and lands should be in the king's hands,
or until the matter had been discussed before the king, so that he
should answer for the issues thereof at the exchequer if they ought to
pertain to the king. By K.

April 28. To the prior of St. Swythin's, collector in the diocese of Winchester
Westminster, of the triennial tenth granted by the clergy of the province of
Canterbury. Order to cause the rectors of the churches of Holy Rood,
St. Michael and All Saints, Southampton, and the prior of St. Denys
near Southampton to have respite until the quinzaine of Michaelmas
next for the sums touching the tenth of their churches and pensions, as
they have besought the king to discharge them of the tenth as the
houses and buildings in the bounds of the parishes were burnt with the
churches by certain pirates who invaded the town, and the fruits or issues,
except obventions and oblations, which were wont to be brought by the
parishioners of the churches in the said houses and buildings, do not
pertain to them, and the obventions and oblations cannot suffice for the
maintenance of the priest of each of the churches or for paying the pensions
duo thereof or for sustaining other charges, from the time of the said
burning. Proviso that they shall satisfy the king for the teiath due before
the said burning. By C in parliament.

12th year of the reign the king granted to them by a tine which John
Gill'ard, his clerk, made with him, that they should be quit of all tenths
imposed on the clergy, and John has bes(.)ught the king to discharge them
of the triennial tenth now granted, and John made tine with the king by
40 marks and 20 sacks of wool in aid of the king's expenses to obtain this
immunity, for the master, brethren and others for ever, and deliveied UX)
quarters of wheat and 100 brace {cos') of sheep to the king on loan, which are

has learned that the collectors do not permit the attorneys to take the wool
■without paying the custom and subsidy because the king granted all the
customs and subsidies in that port and in other ports of the realm to certain
merchants of Almain, by agreement with them, until they should be
satisfied for certain sums lent by them to the king, saving to the king the
passage of 1,000 sacks of wool to parts beyond the sea, without paying the
custom and subsidy thereon, as may appear by an indenture made there-
upon ; the king therefore orders the collectors, that if the 56 sarplars are
not yet taken from the port, they shall permit them to be taken according
to the tenor of the previous order, receiving from the attorneys their letters
patent testifying the passage and the number of sacks and stones of wool,
and they shall restore to the attorneys anything which they have taken

of Brene, co. Somerset, restoring the issues thereof to Eleanor, late the wife
of .James le Botiller, earl of Ormound, as the king has learnt by inquisition
taken by the escheator that Cicely de la Haye, at her death, held no lands
in her demesne as of fee, but that she held the said moiety for life with
remainder to -James and Eleanor and the heirs of their bodies, and then to
the right heirs of -James, and that the moiety is held of Peter de Grandissono
by the service of rendering i^d. at Michaelmas yearly, and by part of a fine
levied thereupon in the king's court and shown before him in chancery, it
appears that the moiety ought to remain to Eleanor.

To Thomas de Castro Goderici, chamberlain of South Wales. Order to
pay to Edmund Hakolut the arrears of his wages for the custody of
Dynevor castle and to pay such wages henceforth, as on 4th December in
the 4th year of the reign the king committed that custody to him to hold
for life, receiving such wages as he who previously held that custody.

To Pialph de Middelneye, escheator in cos. Somerset, Dorset, Cornwall
and Devon. Order to deliver to Eleanor late the wife of -James le Botiller,
carl of Ormound, the manor of Belueton, saving her fealty to the king, as
she and -James by a fine levied in the king's court, acknowledged that the
manor, with others, was the right of -James Laules, who granted that the
manor, which Cicely de la Ilaye held for life of the carl's inheritance with
reversion to -James, should remain to the earl and Eleanor and the heirs of
their bodies and in default, to the carl's right heirs, as appears by a part of
the said fine shown before the king in chancery ; and now PHeanor has
besought the king to cause the manor to be restored to her as she and the
earl acrjuired the manor, which is held in chief, as is found by the
inquisition pout viortein of Cicely, without licence, and the manor is taken
into the king's hand, and the king has pardoned the said tresspass and
granted that Eleanor shall hold the manor for life with remainder to the
carl's heirs.

Totenham and which escheated to the king by Robert's forfeiture, and
which Walter de Shobbedon holds for life by the king's grant, with
reversion of the lands held in dower, on 1 March last, to hold for life, yet
the king has learned from Richard that Thomas has amoved him by a false
suggestion from that third part, which the king granted to Richard on
12 October in the 5th year of the reign, for his good service to the king,
his father and grandfather in chancery, to hold for life, and also granted on
7 July in the 9th year of the reign to him to hold for himself and his heirs

Westminster. Staunton impleads before them John de Staunton of Eyleston, knight, and
Amy his wife concerning 15 bovates of land in Eyleston, and the process
being continued before them. Amy appearing after the taking of the land
into the king's hand by John's default, on the quinzaine of Michaelmas
last, and asserting that the land is her right and seeking to defend her right,
is admitted for this by the justices, because she came to be admitted before
judgment, and she further called John to warranty against Geoffrey in this plea
and to this Geoff'rey said that John ought not to be admitted because he is
Amy's husband, unless he show the court why she should call her husband
to warranty ; and Amy alleged that he was alone seised of the land and
afterwards a fine was levied in the late king's court on the octaves of Hilary
in the IGth year of the reign, between John and Amy, demandants, and
Thomas de Crauthorn, deforciant, before William de Bereford and his
fellows, then justices of the Bench, by which fine John acknowledged that
the tenements were the right of Thomas as those which he had of John's
gift, and for that acknowledgment Thomas granted the tenements to John
and Amy, showing part of this fine before the justices, asserting that Amy
called John to warranty concerning the state which he held before the said
fine ; and Geoffrey said that Amy ought not to be admitted to call John
because Thomas ought to have had the tenements of John's gift before the
fine, since Thomas never had any estate in the tenements and he otVered to
verify this, seeking judgment if she were admitted to call to such warranty,
and Amy asserted in reply that she ought not to be excluded from this
because she alleged that the seisin of John was not deducted before the
levying of the fine for Geoffrey and from which Geoffrey made her tenant
of the tenements of his writ together with her husband, which has to l»o
understood as a change of possession from John to Thomas, and Thomas
rendered the land to John and Amy in the form aforesaid ; and Amy seeks
judgment if she ought not to bo admitted to call John ; and Geoffrey siud
that there was no cause why Amy ought to have that call, Ivcauso Thomas
ought to have luld tlie land of John's gift before the fine, and he pretended
to verify that Thomas never had any thing in the land, which venficalion
Amy refused to admit, seeking judgment to be admitted to that ojUI and
she alleged that she ought not to bo excluded from the call by the verifica-
tion against what she alleged above, which is not contravemnl by Geoff'rt>y

necessary for her to answer, she is ready to do so; wherefore a day was

of Trinity next, and Geoffrey besought the l<ing by his petition
before him and his council in the last parliament at Westminster, that when
the transcript of the record and process of the said plea is read and examined
before the council, the king will order justice to be done on the said
quinzaine by advice of the council, according to the form of the force and
effect of the plea, without further prorogation, and the affair being
brought before the council with no small difficulty, it seemed to them that
by the law of the land Geoffrey, who is strange to the said fine, should be
admitted to the verification wliich he claims because he is not amoved there-
from by statute or by other law, wherefore the court ought to proceed to
render judgment as the parties plead and stay in judgment, and also for the
words above in the record where Amy says that if the court thinlvs it
necessary for her to answer she is ready to do so, it is agreed by the council
that she cannot come to another answer by the law of the land nor save any
answer by her protest from the time when the parties are staying in judg-
ment ; the king therefore orders the justices to view the record and process,
the transcript of the petition and endorsement thereof and the tenor of the
record and process aforesaid which the king caused to come before him in
chancery, and which he sends to them under the half seal, and to proceed
to render judgment in that plea without delay according to the agreement
and advice aforesaid, notwithstanding the said protest.

parts beyond the sea for his most urgent affairs, which wool the king
wishes to be sent as his own from the ports of London, Kyngeston upon
Hull and Ipswich, with all possible speed, the king ordered the collectors of
customs in those ports by divers writs to permit William to take the wool
from those ports quit of the custom and subsidy, to Bruges, to do there
what should bo ordained between the council and him, and that he should
be charged with iOs. a sack in part payment of the debts in which the king
is bound to hnn ; and now the king has learned that Robert has arrested
the said wool, which William caused to bo taken to Flanders, for paying
40s. a sack for the king's use, by reason of his commission to receive such
subsidy on wool taken to the said parts, wherefore William cannot do his
pleasure with the wool or pay the king the money which he promised to
lend to him ; the king therefore orders Robert to dearrest the wool without
delay and to supersede the demand made upon William for 40s. a sack, and
to permit William to do his pleasure with the wool so that he may be able
to pay the king the sums which he has promised to lend to him. By C.

collectors of the custom of wool, hides and wool-fells in divers ports of the
realm to permit the merchants to take the wool quit of the custom and
subsidy, and although certain of the orders contain that the merchants
shall be charged with 60-s. a sack, yet because it is agreed by the king and
his council at Ipswich that the merchants shall be charged with 40.s-. a sack
and no more, the king orders the treasurer and barons to account with the
merchants for the said custom and subsidy at 40.s-. the sack, causing them
to be charged as aforesaid, and to supersede the demand made upon them
for anything beyond in the name of custom and subsidy, discharging
thereof the said merchants and the collectors of customs. By K. and C.

made and orders the treasurer and barons to view the said indented
schedule, part whereof the king sends to thena enclosed with these presents,

upon the progress of the shipping of the town upon the sea against hostile
invasions, and the said bailiffs and men, that if the latter should cause
the shipping to set out well prepared for war to stay at sea for a month
at their expense, beginning from Thursday after Martinmas last, doing all
possible harm to the king's enemies, that henceforth the king Avould
pardon them 2,001. which they are bound to pay of the triennial tenth and
fifteenth lately granted for terms of payment then past, as is contained in
an indenture between them and William and Thomas ; and although the
king was in great need of money for his affairs, he pardoned them the "iOO^.

and now he has learned from the bailiffs and men that the taxers and
collectors of the tenth and fifteenth in tliat county intend to levy the 200L
of them, because the term of payment of that sum was not completed before
6 November, and refuse to allow the king's said letters of pardon, where-
upon the bailiffs and men have besought the king to provide a remedy ; the

To the sheriff of Cambridge. Order to deliver to the prior of Swaveseye
in that county, without delay, his lands, goods and chattels, together with
the issues thereof, as the king lately appointed Henry de Ingelby, his clerk,
to take into his hand the possessions of men of religion and others of the
power of the king of France in that county, except those of the men of
Britanny, and to deliver them to the sheriff, to be kept for the king's use,
and afterwards the king, considering the poverty of the priory of Swaveseye,
ordered the sheriff' to deliver to the prior his lands, goods and chattels,
restoring the issues thereof, and now the king has learned from the prior
that the sheriff has again taken the said possessions into the king's hand,
whereupon the prior has besought the king to provide a remedy.

To the treasurer, barons and chamberlains of the exchequer. Richard
de Feriby, late keeper of the wardrobe, has shown the king that whereas he
rendered his final account for the wardrobe and delivered at the exchequer
the names of those to whom the king was then bound in divers sums, yet
because divers writs of liberate to pay sums to him and other writs for
payment to divers creditors, whose names are noted in the account, are
pending in the exchequer unpaid, they charge him with those sums and
distrain him to answer for them at the exchequer, whereupon he has
besought the king to provide for his indenniity ; the king therefore orders
the treasurer and chamberlains to inspect the said writs and payments and
to cause the payments of sums contained in the writs to be deducted and
the Avrits endorsed, so that no payment may be made afterwards by virtue
thereof, and to observe the following method for the debts still due, to wit :
before satisfaction is made to any creditor, the account shall be viewed, and
the sum to be paid shall be substracted from the surplus in the account,
and his bill or deed received there and delivered at the receipt to be
condemned there, and mention of payment shall be made in the exchequer
rolls and that Richard rendered account thereof at the exchequer of
accounts ; and the king wishes that Richard be not charged with any
payments or allowances made upon the said surplus of his account, and
that no payment, allowance or satisfaction be made without observing this
ordinance; and the king therefore orders the treasurer, barons and
chamberlains to cause the premises to be observed and enrolled.

called ' le Conynger ' in Islep, and not to intermeddle further therewith,

to ascertain the cause of the taking into his hand of 2 messuages and 5 acres
of bind called ' lo Conynger' in Jslep and Morecote, by William Trussel, late
escheator this sidr; Trent, ordered William to certify him upon the premises,
and Williain returned tl)at lie had not taken any of the abbot's bind in

land after the statute of inortmain, without licence, whereupon he took
tho)n into th(> king's hands and afterwards the ahhot besought the king to
order his hand to be amoved, as the cottages are in llorecote and not in
Otteniore or on the king's soil and they were raised by a former abbot, lord
of the towns of IMorecote and Islep of the waste of ]\Iorecote, and the plot
called ' le Conynger ' of the abbot's soil in Islep, was raised by him long
before the statute as it was lawful for him to do ; the king therefore
ordered William to take an inquisition upon the matter, in the presence of
the abbot if he chose to attend, and by the inquisition it is found that
Ivichard formerly abbot of Westminster, then lord of Morecote and Islep,
caused the cottages to be raised in Morecote as is his own waste there and
not in the king's soil of Ottemore ; and he caused the plot to be enclosed of
his own soil there, long before the statute, and that the cottages and plot
are held of the abbot, and the cottages are worth 2.s. yearly and the plot
2.S'. ()'/. yearly.

80 marks of increment, and to deliver the ninth to the bishop or to his
attorney, as lately at the bishop's suit beseeching the king to sell him the

Stafford and his fellows, appointed to sell the ninth in that county, to sell
the said ninth to the bishop, extended at 240 marks, according to the taxa-
tion of the prebends, as is said, for the saul tax and 80 marks of increment,
and now the king has learned that Ralph being occupied at another place
in the king's service, has not hitherto intermeddled with the sale of the
ninth, so that he could not deliver it to the bishop. By C.

Leicester for the tenth beyond the triennial tenth, granted at St. Bride's
church, London, in accordance with a previous order [as in this Calendar 12
Edirard III,paije 574] as the king has learned from the abbot that although
he paid wool according to the grant made at Westminster and the ordinance
made at Northampton, yet the collectors exact of him the said tenth granted
in the convocation at St. Bride's church, London, in the 12th year of the
reign, beyond the triennial tenth, by the clergy of the realm on condition
that they should be quit of the prestation and taking of wool, and that the

To John de la Ryvere, constable of Bristol castle. Order to sell 8 tuns of
wine delivered to him for the munition of the castle by Roger Turtle,

king ordered William to pay Giles the arrears of such wages and to pay the
wages henceforth.

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Whereas the king lately
ordered the justiciary of Ireland or him who supplies his place to distram
Alexander de Bykenore, archbishop of Dublin, collector of the tenth granted
to the late king by the clergy of Ireland in the 13th year of the reign,
to be before him on the morrow of the close of Easter last to render his
account, and afterwards because the archbishop informed the king that he
accounted for the tenth before the treasurer and barons of the exchequer,
Dublin, and satisfied the king for the arrears thereof, the king ordered the
said treasurer and barons to certify him upon the matter, and they returned
that it is not found in their rolls and memoranda that any tenth was
granted in the said 13th year or any account thereof rendered, and it is
found that the archbishop, collector of the yearly tenth granted by Pope
John XXII to the late king in that year in Ireland, by apostolic bulls,
rendered account in the exchequer, Dublin, of the same tenth and satisfied
the king for the arrears thereof and was in surplus upon that account, the

sends to them with a writ enclosed with these presents, and to supersede
the demand made on the archbishop for rendering his account at the
exchequer of England.

the king of \0s. a sack for the custom, to Berwick to be taken thence to
parts beyond the sea, in which town they pay only lO*-. a sack for the
custom on wool to be sent over the sea, after the proclamation forbidding
wool to be sent to parts beyond under pain of forfeiture, without paying
40s. a sack, the king orders the collectors to make diligent scrutiny upon
the matter and to cause any such wool of the said county and other parts
found by them, to be arrested without delay and detained until the king
has ordained concerning it, informing the king in chancery, without delay,
of the names of those who have presumed to do this and of the quantity
of the wool brought to Berwick and arrested by the collectors.

lords of towns and others in divers parts of England strive to defraud the
king of the greater part of that subsidy, granted in his urgent need for the
defence of the reahn and for his expedition of war, so that the prior and
others cannot sell the subsidy ; the king therefore, with the consent of
parliament, orders the prior and others, under pain of forfeiture, to sell the
said ninth with all possible speed in accordance with the king's order, and
if they are impeded from doing this by such men, so that the subsidy
cannot be sold up to the sum of the taxation of churches, then the
sheaves etc. shall be committed to the lords and men of the towns for the
tax of the churches at the least, without delay, which lords, if
they are sufficient, to whom the king wishes the men of the
town to be intendant for their portion, are bound to answer
the king by the hands of the receivers of the subsidy, and
if the lords refuse to admit this, then to commit the sheaves etc. to four
lawful men of each town, in the form aforesaid, to whom the men of the
towns shall be answerable and who shall answer to the king for the said
value by the hands of the receivers, and they shall be charged therewith
even if they neglect this, and if any sales below the tax of the churches
have been made before the receipt of the present order, the prior and others
shall revoke them with speed, and shall ordain thereupon as expressed
above ; and that answer shall be made to the king for what has been
granted to him, and that each one shall be charged with what he is bound
to pay, the king will appoint magnates and other lieges to inform him of
the value of each church and of the sheaves, fleeces and lambs of the parish
churches of the county and to charge each one with what touches him and
not beyond, and to see that payment is made to the king of what the lords
and four men are charged with, and the prior and others shall show the
king the names of the lords and of the four men who are to be charged
with the ninth and the sums charged upon them, by their letters to the
receiver of the subsidy at the Tower of London and in that county, so that
the king may be fully informed of their procedure, and they shall take all

are of such estate that this cannot be done, then they shall inform the king
or his council of their names, without delay, so that the king may cause
them to be imprisoned or punished after examining such certificate and the
certificates of three or four lawful men, not suspect, and of the sheriff of
the county. If the prior and others are remiss in the execution of the
premises, whereby the king is in any wise defrauded of the subsidy, or if the
payment thereof be unreasonably delayed he will cause them to be punished
according to the decision of the council.

Kennington. men of his power and with the king's other lieges there, for the defence of
that island against hostile incursions, and to defend the island and his own
lands there, knowing that the king will have worthy consideration for those
who behave well in this, as although the king ordered him and other lieges
of the island to prepare themselves and their men in the island when they
had great possessions and to stay in the island for its defence against hostile
incursions, yet Bartholomew, as the king has learned, withdraws himself
from the island with his men, to its groat danger, and it is not boeomiug
for belted knights to eloign themselves from places where deeds of war may
take place, but rather to go to those places aiid stay there for their honour's

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to supersede the
demand made upon the warden and chaplains of the chapel of St. Peter,
Kyrkeby upon Wrethek for sums of which they shall be found to have been
discharged by reason of the king's letters acquitting them of all subsidies and
aids, before the ordinance revoking such letters, and to supersede levying
the residue of the fifteenths or other quotas touching them from 12 October
in the 13th year of the late king's reign, beyond what is allowed to them,
until Michaelmas next, as the late king, on the said 12 October, granted
them quittance of tallages, aids, and all contributions, and that their goods
should not be taxed, and now the king has learned from them that although
they were discharged of all such aids from the said 12 October, before the
ordinance to revoke such grants, and the collectors of the tenths and other
quotas had allowance for the sums touching them, yet the treasurer and
barons have newly demanded from them the sum allowed before the said
ordinance, whereupon they have besought the king to provide a remedy.

To the justices of the Bench. Gilbert Talebot has besought the king to
provide a remedy as he seeks before them against Ralph de Wylynton and
Eleanor his wife, the castle of Keirkenny and the commote of Iskenny, and
Ralph and Eleanor have alleged that they hold the castle and commote by
the king's charter, which they exhibited before the justices, as is said, of
the king's gift, and that they ought not to answer therefor without the
king, wherefore the justices have delayed to proceed further in that plea ;
the king therefore orders them, if this is so, to proceed further in that plea
and render justice to the parties according to the law and custom of the
realm, notwithstanding the allegation aforesaid, but not to proceed to render
judgment without consulting the king. By letter of the keeper.

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Whereas the king com-
mitted to the prior of St. Mary, Tifiord Monachorum, the custody of all
lands, goods and other things pertaining to the priory, which were taken
into the king's hands among the possessions of alien men of religion and
others of the power of the king of France, to hold during pleasure, render-
ing a certain ferm yearly, and now the king has learned from the prior's
complaint that, although during that custody he ought not to be charged
with the debts of the priory due to the king, yet the treasurer and barons
cause him to be distrained to pay such debts, thus delaying the payment of
his ferm ; the king therefore orders them to desist from such distraints so
long as the custody of the priory is in his hands as aforesaid, or until other-
wise ordered.

Feb. 8. To Richard de Wylughby and his fellows, justices of assize in co. North-

Westminster, ampton. Scolastica late the wife of Godfrey de Meaux and John her son
have besought the king to provide a remedy, as they arranied an assize of
novel disseisin before the justices against John abbot of Pratis near Crek
and others contained in the original writ, concerning tenements in Retheres-
throp, complaining that they had been disseised of 100.s. of rent there ; and
the abbot as tenant of that rent, pleading before the justices, alleged that
Henry III, who was seised of 10/. rent in Retheresthrop, whereof the 100s.
now placed in view are parcel, in his demesne as of fee, granted them to
God and St. Mary and the prior and canons of Pratis near Crek and
Burnham, to hold in frank almoin, until the king should render the rent to
the right heirs of the advocate Betun by his peace and will, so that the
king should not disseise the prior and convent before he or his heirs had
made a reasonable exchange with them to the value of the rent, which
charter was confirmed by Edward I and the late king, and the charters and
confirmations are shown before the justices ; and they further say that the
abbot holds the lOOs. rent as parcel of the 101. rent, in frank almoin, by
virtue of the said charters, and that he ought not to come to the assize
without consulting the king, wherefore the justices have delayed to proceed
to take the assize ; the king therefore orders them to view the record and
process held before them upon the premises, and if it has proceeded as
aforesaid, then to proceed to take the assize provided they do not proceed to
render judgment without consulting the king. By C.

Feb. 12. To William de Shareshull and his fellows, justices of assize in cos. Wilts

in which they then were all assizes of novel disseisin and attaints arramed
against Thomas Cary, the king's yeoman, who was in the king's service in
parts beyond the sea, while he was staying in that service, in accordance
with the ordinance, and now the king has learned from William de Boys
and Elizabeth his wife, that although Thomas has long since returned from
the said service to England and has stayed there continuously, yet the
justices have delayed to proceed to take an assize of novel disseisin which
they arramed against him and others contained in the original writ,
concerning tenements in Hulledeverell and Deverellangebrigg. co. Wilts, and
to take another assize of novel disseisin which they arramed against him
and others by another writ, concerning tenements in Fernham, co. Dorset,
whereupon they have besought the king to provide a remedy ; the king
therefore orders the justices, if they find that Thomas has returned from
the said service and is staying in the realm as aforesaid, to proceed to take
the assizes with all possible speed, and to do what they see to be in
accordance with the law and custom of the realm, notwithstanding the
aforesaid writ of the king. By pet. in parliament.

done from time out of mind and that at a voidance the subpriors and
canons have not been wont to seek licence to elect a prior from the
king, nor has restitution of the temporalities of the priory been made
to the priors by the king, until Walter de la Pulle, escheator of the
late king in Ireland, in the 19th year of that reign, the priory being void by
the resignation of brotlior Hugh le .Toevene, took the temporalities of the
priory into the king's hand, which were delivered with the issues thereof,
by the council of the late king and by his writ, to the sub-prior ; to answer
to the king for the issues if they ought to pertain to him ; and John Moris,
sometime escheator in Ireland, afterwards took the temporalities into the
king's hand at the death of brother Robert de Gloucestr [ia] then prior, and
the temporalities and issues were delivered to the subprior in the form
aforesaid, and that afterwards Edmund de Mortein, late escheator in Ireland,
in the 11th year of the present king's reign, took the temporalities into the
king's hand by the deposition of brother Roger Goioun, the late prior; and
afterwards at the suit of the subprior and convent, the temporalities were
delivered to them by the council and by the king's writ to the escheator,
and Thomas Wogan, afterwards escheator in Ireland, took the temporalities
into the king's hand by Roger's deposition, and the temporalities and issues
were delivered to the subprior and convent by the council and the king's
writ ; and that the king has never had the custody of the priory or its
temporalities during voidances, until Walter took them into the king's
hand, and the kmg has never intermeddled therewith at such times except
by the escheators as aforesaid, and because it is not clear by the said

chancery at England by the king's order, that answer was made to the late
king for any issues of the priory or its temporalities during voidances and
how many times and for what causes the priory was taken by the escheators
as aforesaid, the king orders the treasurer and barons to inspect the rolls
and memoranda of their exchequer upon the matter and to inform him of
what they find before Michaelmas next or on that day at latest, and to

reason of presenting to such churches or benefices of which clerks are in
possession and have been for a year before the making of that statute, cand
that no one is bound to answer to a writ of quare impedit taken in the king's
name in such case, if collation or presentation is not made within three
years, and that no collation or presentation shall be made henceforth of
such voidances in the time of the king's progenitors and that the king is
excluded from taking any action thereon, and although Thomas de
Haselhawe, parson of Chiw church, has been in possession of the church,
as is said, for a year and much more beyond the making of the statute, and
the king ordered the justices, if this were so, to supersede the plea by writ
of quare impedit between the king and the bishop of Bath and Wells as to
whether the bishop should permit the king to present a fit person to Chiw
church, void and pertaining to the king's donation by reason of the
bishopric, formerly void and in the hand of Edward I, yet the justices pro-
ceed in that plea, because the said writ was impetrated before the making
of the statute, and the plea was moved before them, as they asserted that
the articles do not extend to writs of quare impedit impetrated before the
making of those articles, and the king, considering that Thomas was in
possession of the church for a year and much more before the making of
the statute, and that the articles contain that no one is bound to answer a
writ of quare impedit taken in the king's name by reason of such voidance,
unless a collation or presentation has been made within three years from
the time of the voidance, orders the justices, if they find that Thomas was
in possession for a year before the making of the statute, then to supersede
the plea begun before them by writ of quare impedit, and not to aggrieve
Thomas in his possession of the church.

and Lamberherst, and although all those temporalities are annexed to his
spiritualities and are taxed at the tenth with the clergy of the realm at
37^. 18.S. and the prior has paid the tenth of his temporalities on the said
towns of Renham, Bordon, Orpynton, Tong, Shepeye, Cranebrok and
Wodenesbergh and on the towns of Ledes, Boxle, Chert, Langele, Gutherst
and Larnberherst, with the clergy of the realm in the 6th, 8th, 10th and
other years of the reign and in other time past, yet the collectors of the
tenth and fifteenth granted in the 10th year, pretending that the prior's
said temporalities had been taxed with the community of the county,
assessed them at 35s. for the said year and intend to levy that sum
pretending that they were taxed at that sum in the 8th and 6th years,
whereupon the prior has besought the king to provide a remedy : the king
therefore orders the treasurer and barons to inspect the rolls and memoranda
of the exchequer for the 6th and 8th years, and if they find by this or by
inquisition or otherwise that the said temporalities in Renham etc. are
parcel of those in Ledes etc. and that all the said temporalities are taxed at
the tenth with the clergy at '611. 18.s. and that the priors have paid the
tenth thereof with the clergy in the said years and at other times, and
that the temporalities of the prior were not taxed at the tenth and fifteenth
in the 6th and 8th years, then to supersede without delay the demand
which the collectors make on the prior for 85s. as aforesaid.

and lambs granted to the king by the community of the realm in co.
Huntyngdon. Order to supersede the selling and levying of the subsidy of
the ninth of the hospital of St. Margaret without Huntyngdon, as the
hospital is founded for lepers and is of the king's patronage, and is so
slenderly endowed that its goods do not sufhce for the maintenance of the

the subsidy of the goods of the hospital of poor priests, Canterbury, as the
hospital is so slenderly endowed, as the king has learned, that the goods

granted to the king by the community of the realm, the master will not be
able to sustain the charges incumbent thereon.

William has promised to lend the king a large sum in parts beyond the

the 11,720/. 2s., in which the king is bound to him, as the king wishes
Nicholas to account for the 2,000/., and further to do what such an account
requires when the king wishes to demand the account of him, as the king
is bound to Anthony in 34,000 florins of Florence, which he delivered to
the king on loan for the wages of divers men in his service in parts beyond
the sea, and in 25,000 florins of Florence which he undertook before the

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer, Dublin. Order to inspect
the rolls and memoranda of that exchequer and if they find that Master
William de Epworth, second baron of that exchequer is bound to render
accounts for the times when he was receiver of certain of the king's moneys
in the parts of Ulster and for other offices in Ireland accountable to the
king, then to admit Nicholas de Snyterby to the office of second baron and
permit him to exercise the duties of the office with them, notwithstanding
the commission of the office to William, and to compel William to render
the said account at the exchequer, as although the king lately appoinnted
William to be second baron during good conduct, receiving the accustomed
fees, and ordered the treasurer and barons to admit him to that office, yet
the king has learned that William is bound to render such accounts, and
has endeavoured to postpone the rendering of these accounts from day to
day, and as the king believes that William has procured his appointment
to the office in order that he may more easily escape what the nature and
issue of the account require, the king has considered the faithful service of
Nicholas de Snyterby in whose place William was appointed, and whose
laudable conduct in the office is vouched for by credible testimony. It is
the king's intention that in appointments to such otlices preference shall
be given to those who know most and he therefore orders the treasurer and
barons that when William has rendered his accounts and has satisfied them
for what pertains to the king therefor, or has found security to do this,
they shall then admit to the said office of baron, the one of the two,
Nicholas or William, who is fittest for the office and who has more
knowledge and they shall make an examination upon this with the aid of
others of the council whom they shall invite for this.

of those customs to pay that sum to them for Midsummer term last [as at
paije 508 ahon:] ; and the collectors refused to pay that sum to Katherine and
Henry because they paid all the customs and subsidies in that port when
they were received, to John and Tidmannus, according to the form of an
indenture made between the king and the merchants of Almain. as the king
has learnt d from Henry and Katherine ; and because the indenture contains
that rents and fees which the king granted to nuignates and others in fee
or for a term, upon those issues, shouUl be paid to them, the king does not
wish the payment of the 60/. to be further delayed.

residue of that fair to the abbot and convent, because merchants staved
there to trade beyond the eight days, for rendering bOl. yearly, and also that
if at any time the fair should be lost by war in England, so that they should
receive nothing therefrom, they should be quit of the ferm from that time,
and they exhibited charters testifying this before the treasurer and barons ;
and in the 11th, 12th and 13th years there was war in the realm by sea
and land, with those of France, so that merchants did not come to the fair
with their goods as they used, so that the abbot received no profit there-
from for that time ; and the abbot has also alleged that the countess in
pleading before the treasurer and barons has claimed the 50^. rent as dower,
and has thus assumed that the rent was her free tenement, and she
pretended that the rent issued from the fairs which she asserts the abbot
holds, assuming them to be his free tenement, and that the treasurer and
barons ought not to have cognisance in this plea according to the law and
custom of the realm, chiefly because neither the countess nor the abbot are
ministers of the exchequer, whereupon he showed certain writs of the king
to them that they should not hold such pleas concerning a free tenement ;
but they, notwithstanding the allegations of the abbot, considered erroneously
that the countess should recover against the abbot the said rent and arrears
for the three years and 251. for Easter term last, together with
damages to be taxed by them, as the king is informed by the abbot, and
because errors have occurred in the record and process and in the
judgment, the king wishing justice to be done orders the treasurer and
barons to call before them the justices and others and cause the record
and process to be diligently examined, to hear the reasons of the
countess and of the abbot and also the errors which the abbot wishes
to indicate, and to cause those errors to be corrected and full and
speedy justice to be done to the parties, and the king will cause the
record and process with all things touching them to come before him,
and will have the errors corrected as justice demands, and in the
meantime they shall supersede the execution of the king's orders by
exchequer writs to levy the 50^ for the said year and the 251. for
Easter term last of the said abbot.

cause the subsidy to be levied and be delivered to the receiver thereof
in that county, by indenture, in accordance with the form of other
orders directed to them, so that answer shall be made to the king by
the hands of the receiver for one moiety thereof at the feast of
All Saints next and for the other moiety at the Purification following,
as the king has learned from many that the}' do not travail so
diligently to levy the subsidy as the king's urgent necessity demands,
but are negligent and lukewarm although the king has caused them to
be aroused to a speedy levy, by divers orders, and as the king is com-
pelled to pay great sums of money for the war in parts beyond the
sea, for which the subsidy was granted, and to pay almost innumerable
sums of money to his allies and other persons in those parts under heavy
and penal obligations besides the arrears of such debts in which the king is
bound to thorn for divers terms past, the king wishes to hasten the levying
of the subsidy so far as is consonant with his convenience and the greater
quiet of his people. By the keeper and C.

Dublin, Droghda and Dundalk with their ships, for no small time before the
justiciary of Ireland started for those parts for the expedition of the war
of Scotland, in recompense for their costs and expenses for that time, and
afterwards by another writ under the same seal the king ordered Thomas
to pay wages from the said money to the masters and mariners of certain
ships lately arrested by the king for the said war, who had not then
received wages, from 26 July in the said year, and that the masters and
mariners should cause their said ships to be made ready for horses and

granted by the community of the realm, in cos. Northampton and Rutland
should be levied for his use, and to incite the assessors and vendors of that
subsidy to be diligently attendant upon the levying of the same, and to
compel them to this if they were remiss, and because the king learned
that the assessors and vendors have behaved negligently he directed the
abbot by another writ, that in consideration of the king's most urgent need
for lack of money, for which he hoped to have assistance at that time from
the subsidy, he should apply all diligence to the speedy levying of that subsidy
in every possible way and to diligently perform the other things contained

demand nnide upon Walter de Pulton for the extent of a messuage, 20
acres of land, 8 acres of meadow and lO.s. rent in Northwode which belonged
to John Dobyn, tenant in chief, and which were in the king's hand by
reason of the minority of John, son and heir of the said John, as the king
lately committed to Walter the custody of the said tenements to hold during
pleasure, rendering the extent thereof at the exchequer yearly, and after-
wards Walter surrendered the king's letters to chancery to be cancelled,
because he neither had received nor could receive anything thereof, and the
letters were then cancelled as is found by inspection of the chancery rolls.

To the collectors of customs in the port of London. Order to permit
Peter, cardinal priest of St. Praxed, or his attorneys to take 60 sacks of wool
from that port to Bruges in Flanders without paying the custom and subsidy
due thereon, in accordance with the king's grant to him for his favour to the
king in his affairs in parts be3 0nd the sea. The king wishes letters
obligatory to be made for Henry !Muddepenyng and his fellows, merchants
of Almain, to whom he granted all the customs and subsidies in all ports of
the realm to hold until they were satisfied for certain sums in which the
king was bound to them, and who gave their consent in the premises, so
that they shall have the customs ard subsidies until they have received
120/. for the said GO sacks beyond the sums due to them by the king, or
shall have satisfaction for the said 120/. at another time.

marks, of the money touching the merchants of the society of the Poru/zi

merchants of the society of the Bardi is paid by the pretext of this oixler. as
the merchants of the said societies lent the king great sums of money for
his affairs and they have promised to lend him more and have undertaken
to pay money for him, and the king assigned to them all the said subsidy
of the ninths and fifteenth lately granted in the parliament at Westminster
on Wednesday after Sunday in mid Lent last, in the said archdeaconry, in

those merchants of which the kin<,r caused taUies to be levied at the receipt
of the exchequer and delivered to the merchants in the prior's discharge,
in part payment of certain sums in which the king is bound to them, which
order the prior has not obeyed, as the king has learned, and the merchants
have agreed to lend the 250/. to the king for his affairs in parts beyond the
sea, when they receive them. If the prior delays payment the king will
cause him to be rigorously punished, and will cause the 250Z. to be levied
of his manors, lands, possessions, goods and chattels by certain lieges
appointed for the purpose.

To the sheriff of Gloucester. Order to supersede the demand made upon
the mayor, bailiffs and lawful men of Bristol for 22/. for the queen's gold
of 220/. paid to the king for the tenth granted by the citizens and burgesses
of the realm, until the quinzaine of Michaelmas next, so that before that
day the rolls and memoranda of the exchequer may be examined, and the
attorneys of Queen Philippa and of the mayor and others heard, and justice
done in the matter, as the mayor and others assert that they ought to be
discharged of the 22/. and they are distrained therefor by the sheriff and
have besought the king to cause the demand made on them for that sum to
be superseded as the queen's gold ought not to be exacted of such a tenth
of right or custom. By C.

To Ralph Sauvage and Stephen de Forsham. Order to be attendant
upon the taking and levying of wool for the king's use in co. Kent, and in
all matters contained in the king's commission to them, not awaiting the

and William to take 1,000 sacks of wool in that county of the 20,000 sacks
granted by the parliament at Westminster held on Wednesday after the
Translation of St. Thomas last, so that satisfaction for the price of the
wool should be given to the men from whom it was taken of the subsidy of
sheaves, fleeces and lambs of the second year, and to do certain other
things contained in the king's letters patent ; and now the king has learned
from trustworthy testimony that William is detained by such infirmity that
he cannot travail upon the premises for this turn, and that Ralph and
Stephen have done nothing in taking the wool or other things by reason of
his absence ; and the king wishes the wool in that county to be taken and
purveyed with all possible speed. By C.

To the treasurer and l)arons of the exchequer, Dublin. Order to pay to
Thomas, bishop of Hereford, or to his attorney, without delay, the arrears of
his fee as keeper of Ireland, or to give him an assignment therefor upon
the ferm of cities and Ijoroughs of that land or upon customs due there so
that he shall not have cause to complain of the lack of payment of those
arrears, whereby it would Ijeliove the king to be furtlujr distui'bed in
the matter, as in consideration of the bishop's costs and expenses as keeper
of Ireland in keeping the peace then;, and in setting out to repel the king's
enemies with a great foi-ce of armed horse and foot, the king ordered the
said treasurer and l)arons several times to pay the bishop the arrears of his
said fee before all the king's other ministers in Ireland, and although they
received these orders and the })ishop earnestly sued l)efore them for
payment, yet they have* hitherto paid him little or nothing.

Peruzzi undertook before the council to pay the said 1,080 sacks for the
king to Matthew and the merchants of Lovayne, under a form contained

To the collectors of the subsidy of the ninth of sheaves, fleeces and lambs

hamlet of Alwastou in that county have complained to the king shewing him
that whereas the chapel of St. Michael, Alwaston, was united for certain
causes to the church of St. Michael, Derby, by the former archbishop of
Canterbury, metropolitan of the place, and the chapel was taxetl at 6 marks
and the church at 10 marks, each by itself before the union, and although
the men of the hamlet are ready to answer for the said ninth according to
the said tax of 6 marks, yet the collectors, because tho church is now taxtxl
at 16 marks together with tho chapol, as is said, and tho parishonors of tho
church living at Derby pay tho ninth with their follow burgesses, protending
that they ought not to bo charged with tho ninth of that church at tho siuuo

king to grant him some mitigation in that ferm, as Edward I when
the priory was in his hand by reason of a war with the king of France
remitted 81. yearly to the prior of that ferm, and because it was found
by a certificate sent into chancery that from the time of Edward I the
priory was taxed at 54L 3s. ll^d. and was committed to brother Denis,
then the prior, for rendering 35/. yearly, and that afterwards because
the prior had no allowance for his maintenance and that of his five
fellow monks, after the priory was taken, except of 191. 'ds. ll^d. yearly,
when 27/. yearly ought to be allowed to him according to an ordinance
then made for the maintenance of such men of religion, it was agi'eed
that the prior should pay 27/. yearly thenceforward during the custody in
consideration of the divers charges born, by the priory at this time and
because the king wished to show favour to Richard earl of Arundel, in
conformity with his request, on 15 May last the king granted that the prior
should have the custody during pleasure, rendering 27/. yearly therefor ;

to be allowed to him in the payment of the 27/., to wit 13/. 10s. at

Sept. 18. To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Whereas, as the king has

place, by writ of privy seal, to distrain Alexander de Bikemore, arch-
bishop of Dublin, collector of the tenth granted to the late king in the 13th
year of his reign by the clergy of Ireland, so that he should be before them
on the morrow of the close of Easter last to render his account for the said
tenth ; and because the king was informed by the archbishop that he
accounted for that tenth before the treasurer and barons of the exchequer,
Dublin, and satisfied the king for the arrears thereof, as may fully appear
by the rolls and memoranda of the exchequer, Dublin, the king afterwards
ordered the treasurer and barons of the exchequer, Dublin, to inspect the
rolls and memoranda of that exchequer and inform the king of what they
should find, and they have certified that they have found nothing in the
rolls and memoranda concerning any tenth granted to the late king by the
clergy of Ireland in the 18th year or of any account rendered by the arch-
bishop therefor, but that it is found that the archbishop was collector of a
certain yearly tenth granted to the late king by Pope John XXII in the
said year, of ecclesiastical benefices and the temporalties and spiritualities
annexed thereto in Ireland, and he rendered account therefor in the
exchequer, Dublin, and satisfied the king for the arrears, and was found in
surplus upon that account ; the king therefore orders the treasurer and
barons to view the said certificate, which he sends to them enclosed with
a writ sewed thereto, and to supersede the demand made upon the arch-
bishop for rendering the said account, releasing him from any distraint
made for that cause, without delay.

ford and others mentioned below, as the king, being lately informed that
several men of the town and county of Southampton and of co. Wilts both
before alien enemies, entered that town and afterwards had carried away the
king's wool there, appointed Edmund de la Inrhe, Robert Daundely and
James de Wodestok to take an inquisition concerning the wool so taken,

they executed the office from Michaelmas in the 18th year of the reign

Roger and William, forbidding merchants or others to take wool etc. out of

or to their attorney in the port of London. Order to pay to Henry de
Lancastr[ia] earl of Derby or to his attorney, 445 marks 9.s. 1>I. for
Michaelmas term last, as the king ordered the collectors of the custom
of w^ool, hides and wool-fells in that port to pay the said sum to
the earl for that term and to show cause if they could not obey that
order [as at 2>fi</e 580 aborc] and the collectors have certified in chancery
that the said merchants, by virtue of the king's writ to the collectors, have
received all the said issues from 8 May last until that time, so that they
could not make the said payment, and in the indenture between the king
and the merchants it is provided that the latter shall make such payments
but shall not be charged with the arrears thereof.

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to supersede the
demand which the collectors of the ninth and fifteenth and of the biennial
tenth granted by the clergy of the province of Canterbury, in co. Dorset,
make upon John de Tydelmynton, the king's clerk, by reason of the manors
of Brodeweye and Elleworth, co. Dorset, which belonged to Simon de
Trewithosa, as on 27 October in the 13th year of the reign, the king
committed to John the said manors, which were in his hand for debts in
which Simon at his death was bound to him, to hold of the king at ferm
from Michaelmas in the 13th year of the reign until the end of five years,
rendering 31^. yearly at the exchequer, in part payment of the said debts,
and now John has shown the king that the said collectors exact the ninth,
fifteenth and tenth of him by reason of the manors and intend to levy the
sum of those manors, and it is not consonant with right that he should be
charged with the said quotas by reason of manors which are in the king's
hand and are committed to him at ferm. By C.

Dorset. Order to cause Robert de Seyntcler son and heir of Robert de
Seyntcler, tenant in chief, to have seisin of all the lands of which his father

the wool of certain merchants brought to that port, which they can prove
to be their own, to be dearrested without delay and delivered to the
merchants or to their attorneys to be .sent to parts beyond the sea, as
although the king appointed certain lieges to arrest wool for his use in cos.
York, Lincoln, Nottingham and elsewhere, and to do certain other things
contained in his letters patent, yet it is not the king's intention that wool
purveyed in those counties by merchants and brouglit to that port or sent

prioress, as the king vistiiiig to know tlio cause of the taking of that hind
into his hand ordered WilUani Trussel, late escheator this side Trent, to
certify hiui tliereupon, and William has returned that he did not so take
the said land, hut that Ilohert de Holewell, sometime escheator in the afore-
said counties, delivered that land to him by indenture, asserting that it was
in the king's hand by reason of the appropriation thereof nuide by the
prioress after the publication of the statute of mortuuiin, without licence ;
and afterwards at the suit of the prioress asserting that she accpiired the
land of Adam sou of John de Watlyngton by licence and she showed the king's
letters of licence beseeching him to cause his hand to be amoved from the
land, the king ordered Robert to take an inquisition upon the matter, by
which it is found that the said two acres which were acquired of Adam
are the same two acres which were taken by Robert de Holewell.

bought 19 sacks of wool long before the grant of 20,000 sacks to the king,
and they are arrested by the receivers by virtue of their commission, and
the king has learned from trustworthy testimony that the sacks were
bought as John asserts, and he wishes to show favour to John because he

earl on 15 February in the 12th year of the reign, and to the heirs male
of his body with other manors and lands in part satisfaction of 1,000
marks of land and rent which the king granted to provide the earl, and
now John is dead and the said moiety is taken into the king's hand and
the fee ferm and scutage are withheld from the earl from the time of
John's death, as the king has learned. The escheator shall pay the earl
the said fee ferm and scutage yearly henceforth, so long as the moiety is in

delivered them, whereby the purveyors and receivers had allowance in their
accounts for their liveries and the creditors, men at arms, scrjeiints and

treasurer, barons and chamberlains have caused divers such allowances
to purveyors, receivers and creditors and payments to men at arms, Serjeants
and archers to be made without receiving the bills and indentures of
William, so that allowances and payments can be newly exacted of the king
at another time. By C.

Nov. 16. To R. bishop of Durham. Order to cause 35 sacks of wool arrested by

which William paid to William de la Pole for the king's use, the king
granted that he should lade 100 sacks of wool in the port of Newcastle upon
Tyne and take them to parts beyond the sea without paying the custom and
subsidy thereon, and he is hindered in doing this and has now informed the
king that 35 sacks which he caused to be purveyed of the 100 sacks are
arrested by the bishop by virtue of the king's order to arrest all wool
fraudulently taken into the liberty of Durham, and William has besought
the king to order the wool to be delivered to him in aid of paying
his debts in which he is bound to divers men by reason of the
king's service, and the king has considered the damages and costs
sustained by William in the said service in parts beyond the sea, and
also that he is satisfied for the custom and subsidy of that wool. By p.s.

nuns of Chesthunt for that ninth, restoring without delay anything which
they have levied of them for this cause, as the prioress and nuns have
besought the king to order that exaction to be superseded, as their house is
so slenderly endowed that the goods and possessions thereof do not suffice
for their maintenance unless they are assisted by the alms of the faithful,
and for this cause the house was not taxed at the tenth, fifteenth, or any
quota granted by the clergy or laity in times past. By C.

the townships for the levying of the ninth or for other reasons, by threats,
compulsion, extortion or other unjust ways, and to cause all the money and
other goods so taken beyond the ninth, to be restored with all speed to those
from whom they were taken, so that nothing shall be levied or paid
bfyond what is due, knowing that if tliey are remiss, the king will send
certain of his justices to that county, before St. Andrew next, with

some who are deputed by the MMidors to levy the wool and others who are
charged to buy the ninth of di\ers towns in the county and four men who
are charged towards the king with the unsold ninth, and the constables and
reeves of such towns have levied and extorted intolerable sums of money
from the men of the towns so that many are compelled by necessity to
desert their own places and to seek their food from other's distribution, at
which the king is greatly angered. The king has ordered the sheriff of the
county to be attendant upon the vendors in the premises as they shall
direct him, and the king further orders them to cause the ninth to be levied
according to the form of the grant and of the king's orders.

Gregory de Eokeslegh that this would not be to the damage of the king or

chapter that although they have caused the way to be closed for a long
time, by virtue of the said grant, yet it has been unlawfully opened by
certain rivals against the form of the letters of P^dward I, ordered the
mayor and sheriffs to take an inquisition upon the matter, by which it is

of the money for that term and had received the greater part thereof, and
if the abbot of J-'orde was charged with receiving the money it would

appointed certain lieges for this and ordered them to deliver the wool to
Thomas de Leuesham, William de Mallerstang and William de Baynbrigg,
merchants of York, to whom the king had sold it, under a certain form,
and afterwards the king ordered the takers to supersede the execution of

Thomas de Drayton, collectors of customs in that port that although by
virtue of that order they permitted Walter's attorneys to take the said wool,
receiving an indenture under the name of Eoger de Clepton, yet the treasurer
and barons have delayed to make allowance to them in their account for
the same, because it appears by the endorsement of the indenture that
Roger has the king's letters of allowance in the custom and subsidy of his
own wool taken out of that port, unless the collectors surrender at the
exchequer the king's letters patent of which the endorsement makes mention,
whereupon the collectors have besought the king to provide a remedy ; and
on a scrutiny of the rolls of chancery it is not found that any such allowance
has been made to Roger in that port or elsewhere : the king therefore orders
the treasurer and barons to cause allowance to be made to the collectors in
their account, of what they shall be found to have allowed to Walter by
virtue of the said order up to 156Z. 6s. 5'/., receiving from them the king's

if they pass any wool as their own which did not belong to them before the

are contriving to get the larger part of the wool of the realm into their

colour of buying the same, which they pretend was done before the grant
to the king, so that they may defraud the king of the wool and make void

the king is bound to William in great sums of money lent to him for the
war and his needs, beyond the assignments contained in this indenture, the
king grants that after the merchants of Almain, to whom he has granted the
customs and subsidies in all the ports of England, are paid the sums which
they lent to the king, William shall have the said customs and subsidies
until he is fully paid for the debt which is due to him and also for that
which shall come to the king in the meantime, with one leaf of the coket
seal in each of the said ports. Because Sir John de Pulteneye has under-
taken to pay for Willuim to divers merchants, great sums of money in
which William was bound to them, and which he undertook for the king's
use, the king grants, with the assent and at the request of William, that a
leaf of the coket in all the ports shall remain in John's custody under the
seals of the customers of each port until William is satisfied for his debts,
so that John can be better paid for what William owes him. The king and
others of the council promise to observe the premises in good faith, in
witness whereof the king has set his seal to one part and William has set
his to another part of the indenture before the king and his council. Dated
at London as aforesaid. French.

although certain ministers of the city attached certain trespassers for
misdeeds and excesses committed by them in the city, and wished to punish

To R. bishop of Durham. The merchants and mariners of Lescluse in
Flanders have besought the king to order the release of Clays son of Clays

lately taken at sea by the king's enemies of the town of Caleys who
freighted the ship to take certain persons to Scotland, against the wish of
the masters and mariners, whose lives were spared for this cause, and the
ship was taken while sailing by the sea coast towards the said parts by men
and mariners of England near Berwick upon Tweed, and Clays is detained
in Norham Castle by Robert de Maners, the constable there, and the ship
and the goods and chattels of the masters and mariners therein are arrested
by the bishop's ministers in Halieland ; the king therefore orders the
bishop to take an inquisition on the matter and if he finds that Clays, the

with other lieges, Ralph de Middelneye, knight, John de Middelneye, parson

Taillour and other malefactors attacked Thomas in the execution of that
commission at Braynton near Southfederton, beat, wounded and ill treated
him, so that his life was despaired of, and took his goods and chattels
found there to the value of iOl., and carried them away, and attacked his
men and Serjeants there, wounding, beating and maltreating them, whereby
Thomas lost their services for a great while, and committed other outrages
on him — appointed Robert and the others, four, three or two of them,
John Inge being one, to be justices to take inquisition on the matter by the
oath of lawful men of the said county, concerning the names of the male-
factors who were engaged with Ralph and the others, and to hear and
determine the said trespasses ; but because the king is now informed that
Thomas de Marleberge and Ralph make assemblies of armed men for that
cause, in a warlike manner, whereby commotions may arise among the
people of those parts while the king is absent from the realm in parts
beyond the sea, and that Ralph and the others did not beat Thomas or
his Serjeants or do any other hanu to them ; the king, considering that the
appointment to hear and determine the said trespass is contrary to the form
of the statute providing that such writs of oyer and terminer shall only be
granted in cases of serious trespass, orders Robert and the others to
supersede the execution of the said appointment, until more complete
deliberation has been taken thereupon with those of the council.

Thomas de Lyndeseye, John Goldebcter, William de Bkelton, William de
Baynbrigg and John Shakelok, merchants of York, have besought the king
to aid them, as while they were in his service in parts beyond the sea to
make payments and loans to him there for wool which they bought from him
and for other causes, they were indicted before the justices at the procuration
of certain of their rivals, contriving to aggrieve them, because they had
taken certain non-coketted wool out of the realm contrary to the king's
prohibition ; and they offered to answer before the king upon the premises
so that the truth might be enquired into, and the king wishing to have
cognisance of this affair, orders the justices that if any process has been
taken before them upon the premises or any inquisition or indictment
touching the merchants is returned before them, then they shall send the
tenor of the record and process to chancery, under Robert's seal, without
delay, so that when the king has seen it he may cause what seems reason-
able to the council to be done, and in the meantime the justices shall

assigned to them 659 sacks of co. Lincoln, 387 sacks of co. Northampton,
500 sacks of co. Oxford and Coteswold, 459 sacks of co Berks, each sack at
a mark less than the price ordained at Nottingham ; as appears by an

fellow; and those merchants have surrendered that indenture
because they could not be supplied with the said wool and
have received nothing thereof, together with the writs, in wax
which they had to the receivers of wool in the said counties to deliver the

Rosponte, except ships of the marshalsea of Leynster laded with the mer-
chandise of the men of that marshalsea after the justiciary and his
lieutenant have taken inquisition upon the matter, if they find that ships
ought to ply to the port of Waterford within the said bounds, except those
of the said marshalsea and have been wont to do so, and that the grant to
the men of Rosponte was to the king's prejudice, as at the suit of the
citizens of Waterford showing the king that the citizens then from the time
of the conquest of Ireland and the foundation of the city had enjoyed such
liberty that all ships entering that port within the said bounds ought
to lade and unlade their goods and merchandise at that city and not
elsewhere, paying the customs there, except ships of the said marshalsea,
and the said citizens hold that of the king at fee ferm, to wit, for
rendering 100 marks at the exchequer of Dublin yearly, and they have
nothing whereof they can levy the stiid ferm except the profit of such tralfio,
and by roa.son of a grant of the king to tho burgesses of Uosixuite ii\ that
laud, who craftily showed that it would not be to the damage of the king or

of the said city, but an advantage to the king of 40^. if ships entering that
poi-t should apply at that town as well as at the city of Waterford and lade
and discharge there as is said, because such ships apply at Eos and lado
and discharge there, so that the citizens lose the greater part of the said
profits, to their damage and impoverishment, the withdrawal of the payment
of the said ferm and the manifest destruction of the city ; and the king
wishing to be certified upon the matter ordered the lieutenant to go to
that city on a day appointed by him, or to any other place where the citizens
and burgesses could go with safety, and to take an inquisition upon the
matter in the presence of the mayor of the city and captains of the town,
if they chose to attend, and to send it to the king to the chancery in
England, so that the king might cause to be done what should seem good
to the council, after the inquisition had been seen ; and at the time of the
king's grant to the men of Rosponte it was not the king's intention to do
any prejudice thereby to the city or to its citizens. By K.

" of the greatest value in a historical and constitutional point of view, yet
"tlioy are comparatively useless to tho public, from the want of proper
"Calendars and Indexes." Whereupon their liOrdships assented to tho
necessity of having Calendars prepared and printed, and empowered tho
Master of the Rolls to take such steps as might be necessary for this
purpose.

The "Book of Hyde" is a compilation from raucli earlier sources, which are usually
indicated with considerable care and precision. In many cases, however, the Hyde
Chronicler appears to correct, to qualify, or to amplify the statements which, in substance,
he adopts.

There is to be found, in the " Book of Hyde," much information relating to the reign of
King Alfred which is not known to exist elsewhere. The volume contains some curious
specimens of Anglo-Saxon and mediaeval English.

It is probable that Pierre de f.angtoft was a canon of Bridlington, in Yorkshire, and
lived in the reign of Kdward I., and during a portion of the reign of Edward II. This
chronicle is divided into three parts; in the first, is an abridgment of Geoffrey of Monmoutli's
" Historia Britonum " ; in the second, a history of the Anglo-Kaxon and Norman kings, to tlie
death of Henry III. ; in the third, a history of the reign of Kdward 1. The language is a
specimen of the French of Yorkshire.

This work forms a comprehensive Palaeographic Series for Ireland.
It furnishes characteristic specimens of the documents which have
come down from each of the classes which, in past ages, formed
principal elements in the population of Ireland, or exercised an in-
tiuence in her affairs. With these reproductions are combined fac-
similes of writings connected with eminent personages or transactions
of importance in the annals of the country to the early part of the
eighteenth century.

The specimens have been reproduced as nearly as possible in accord-
ance with the originals, in dimensions, colouring, and general
appearance. Characteristic examples of styles of writing and cali-
graphic ornamentation are, as far as practicable, associated with
subjects of historic and linguistic interest. Descriptions of the
various manuscripts are given by the Editor in the Introduction.
The contents of the specimens are fully elucidated and printed in the
orij,'inal languages, opposite to the Fac-similes — line for line— without
contractions— thus facilitating reference and aiding effectively those
interested in palajographic studies.

In the work are also printed in full, for the first time, many
original and important historical documents.

i'art I. commences with the earliest Irish MSS. extant.

Part II. : From the Twelfth Century to A.D. TiUy.

Part III.: From A.D. 1300 to end of reign of Henry VIII.

Part IV. 1 : From reign of Edward \T. to that of James I.

In part IV. "2 the work is carried down to the early part of the
eighteenth century, with Index to the entire publication.
